Ruby won a bag full of money!! She has 49 bills in all. She counts a total of $1430 in the bag. There are twenty dollar bills and fifty dollar bills only. Which system best represents this situation?
x + y = 1430 and 10x + 39y = 49
x + y = 49 and 20x + 50y = 1430
x + y = 49 and 10x + 39y = 1430

Yesterday a chef used 68 eggs to make 8 chocolate souffles and 10 lemon meringue pies. The day before, he made 7 chocolate souffles and 10 lemon meringue pies, which used 62 eggs. How many eggs, does each dessert require? If (x) represents chocolate souffles and (y) represents lemon meringue pies, give the correct system of equations and the solution as an ordered pair.
8x + 10y = 68
7x + 10y = 62
( 2, 6 )
8x + 10y = 68
7x + 10y = 62
( 6, 2 )
7x + 10y = 68
8x + 10y = 62
( 5, 4 )
7x + 10y = 68
8x + 10y = 62
