Part A

Which system describes the number of men and women participating if x represents the number of winter games after the 22nd Winter Olympics?



Multiple choice question.

A)
y=1389x+1660y=787x+1121


B)
y=2713x+1121y=3343x+1660


C)
y=2713x+1389y=3343x+787


D)
y=2713x+1660y=3343x+1121

Answer 1

Using a system of equations, it is found that the correct option is:

A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, considering the amounts in each olympics(1389 men and 787 women participated on the 19th, 1660 men and 1121 women in the 22th), the system is:

A) 1389x+1660y=787x+1121y.
