A farmer has 500 acres to plant acres of corn, x, and acres of cotton, y. Corn costs $215 per acre to produce, and cotton costs

$615 per acre to produce. He has $187,500 to invest this season. Which system represents this scenario? x + y = 500. 215 x + 615 y = 187,500 x minus y = 500. 215 x minus 615 y = 187,500 500 x + 500 y = 187,500. 215 x = 615 y 500 x = 500 y. 215 x + 615 y = 187,500
