Question

Two orders are placed at a t-shirt design store. In the first order, 2 long-sleeved shirts and 4 short-sleeved shirts cost $74. In the second order, 4 long-sleeved shirts and 7 short-sleeved shirts cost $137. Which system of linear equations below can be used to determine the price of each type of shirt?

(Let x represent the cost of a long-sleeved shirt, and let y represent the cost of a short-sleeved shirt.)






A.

2x + 4y = 137
4x + 7y = 74








B.

2x + 5y = 94
5x + 7y = 169








C.

2x + 4y = 74
4x + 7y = 137








D.
