question 24

Multiple Choice

Write a system of equations to describe the problem situation. It is not necessary to solve the problem. The I.R.Rabbit Company sells carrots. It sells six times as many pounds to grocery stores as to restaurants. It has 5,300 pounds of carrots. The company sells x pounds of carrots to grocery stores and y pounds of carrots to restaurants.

• B) \(x - y = 5,300 , x = 6 y\)
• C) \(y - x = 5,300 , x = 6 y\)
• D) \(x + y = 5,300 , x = 6 y\)
• E) \(x = 5,300 + y , y = 6 x\)
