Which scenario has the system of linear equations: x + y = 12 6x + 8y = 76 A. Trent drank 76 ounces of water in one day. He used a six-ounce glass and an eight-ounce glass to drink a total of 12 glasses of water. B. Trent drank 12 ounces of water in one day. He used an eight-ounce glass and a twelve-ounce glass to drink a total of 76 glasses of water. C. Trent drank 76 ounces of water in one day. He used a six-ounce glass and an eight-ounce glass to drink a total of 14 glasses of water. D. Trent drank 12 ounces of water in one day. He used an eight-ounce glass and a six-ounce glass to drink a total of 76 glasses of water. Solution If x be number of 6 ounce and y be number of 8 ounce glasses then, He used a six-ounce glass and an eight-ounce glass to drink a total of 12 glasses of water. x + y = 12 Trent drank 76 ounces of water in one day. 6x + 8y = 76 Answer is (A) .

1. Which scenario has the system of linear equations: x + y = 12
6x + 8y = 76
A. Trent drank 76 ounces of water in one day. He used a six-ounce glass and an eight-ounce
glass to drink a total of 12 glasses of water.
B. Trent drank 12 ounces of water in one day. He used an eight-ounce glass and a twelve-ounce
glass to drink a total of 76 glasses of water.
C. Trent drank 76 ounces of water in one day. He used a six-ounce glass and an eight-ounce
glass to drink a total of 14 glasses of water.
D. Trent drank 12 ounces of water in one day. He used an eight-ounce glass and a six-ounce
glass to drink a total of 76 glasses of water.
Solution
If x be number of 6 ounce and y be number of 8 ounce glasses then, He used a six-ounce glass
and an eight-ounce glass to drink a total of 12 glasses of water. x + y = 12 Trent drank 76 ounces
of water in one day. 6x + 8y = 76 Answer is (A)
