A drummer and a guitarist each wrote songs for their band. The guitarist wrote 8 fewer than twice the number of songs that the drummer wrote. They wrote a total of 46 songs.

Which system of equations models this situation if the drummer wrote d songs and the guitarist wrote g songs?

g =8 - 2d

g = 46 - d

d = 2g - 8

d = 46 - g

d =8 - 2g

d + g = 46

g = 2d - 8

g + d = 46

Answer 1

g = 8 - 2d
d = 46 - g

Answer 2

a,b,c, or d

Answer 3

The correct answer is: a. g = 8 - 2d
b. d = 46 - g
