Pleas please help me!! Your school's talent show will feature 16 solo acts and 3 ensemble acts. The show will last 132 minutes. The 8 solo performers judged best will give a repeat performance at a second 84 minute show, which will also feature the 3 ensemble acts. Each solo act lasts x minutes, and each ensemble act lasts y minutes. Use this information to answer parts (a) and (b).

a) write a system of equations to model this situation.

A. 16x + 3y = 132
8x + 3y = 84

B. 3x + 16y = 132
3x + 8y = 84

C. 16x + 3y = 84
8x + 3y = 132

D. 3x + 16y = 84
3x + 8y = 132
