3. The sum of the ages of Stephanie and Heather is 46. Heather is two years younger than Stephanie. Write a system of equations to determine the ages of Stephanie and Heather.
A) S + H = 46
H = S + 2
B) S - H = 46
H - 2 = S
C) S + H = 46
H = S - 2
D) S - H = 2
H = S - 46
E) S + H = 2
H = S - 46
F) 2S – H = 46

4. You want to borrow three rock CDs from your friend. She loves math puzzles and she always makes you solve one before you can borrow her stuff. Here’s the puzzle: Before you borrow three CDs, she will have 39 CDs. She will have half as many country CDs as rock CDs, and one-fourth as many soundtracks as country CDs. How many of each type of CD does she have after you borrow three rock CDs?
A. After borrowing 3 rock CDs, your friend will have 21 rock CDs, 12 country CDs, and 3 soundtracks.
B. After borrowing 3 rock CDs, your friend will have 24 rock CDs, 12 country CDs, and 3 soundtracks.
C. After borrowing 3 rock CDs, your friend will have 25 rock CDs, 10 country CDs, and 4 soundtracks.
D. After borrowing 3 rock CDs, your friend will have 21 rock CDs, 9 country CDs, and 3 soundtracks.

5. Three times the width of a certain rectangle exceeds twice its length by two inches. Four times its length is twelve more than its perimeter. Write a system of equations that could be used to solve this problem. (hint: P = 2L + 2W)
A) 3W = 2L + 2
2L = 2W + 12
B) 3W + 2 = 2L
4L = P – 12
C) 3W = 2L + 2
4L + 12 = P
D) 2W + 2 = 2L
4L = 12 + P
E) 3W + 2 = 2L
4L = 12 + P
F) 2L – 2 = 3W
P = 4L - 12
