Julian gave x number of rubberbands to four people and y number of rubberbands to three people for a total of 42 rubberbands.

Romeo gave x number of rubberbands to 2 people and y number of rubberbands to 5 people for a total of 56 rubberbands.

Julian claimed that the situation can be written as this system: 4x + 3y = 42 and 2x + 5y = 56.

Romeo claimed that the situation can be written as the system 4x + 2y = 42 and 3x + 5y = 56.

    Julian is right because Julian gave 4 people x rubber bands. That would equal 4x. He gave 3 people y rubber bands for a total of 3y. His total of x and y is 4x+3y=42. The same idea goes for Romeo's rubber bands to give you 2x+5y=56
