Let w and l be the length and height of the rectangle.

We know that:

\begin{cases}l = 2w-5\\2(l+w)=26\end{cases}

Substitute the first equation in the second:

2(l+w)=26 \iff l+w=13 \iff 2w-5+w=13 \iff 3w = 18 \iff w=6

Use the first equation to compute the length:

l=2\times 6 - 5 = 12-5=7

So, length = 7 cm; width = 6 cm

Cheddar Cheese
disa [49]

Complete question :

Cheddar Cheese

$3/lb

Swiss Cheese

$5/lb

Keisha is catering a luncheon. She has $30 to spend on a mixture of Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese. How many pounds of cheese can Keisha get if she buys only Cheddar cheese? Only Swiss cheese? A mixture of both cheeses?

What linear equation in standard form can she use to model the situation?

Answer:

10 lbs of cheddar cheese

6 lbs of Swiss cheese

$3a + $5b = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cheddar cheese = $3/lb

Swiss cheese = $5/lb

Total amount budgeted for cheese = $30

How many pounds of cheese can Keisha get if she buys only Cheddar cheese?

Pounds of cheedar cheese obtainable with $30

Total budget / cost per pound of cheddar cheese

$30 / 3 = 10 pounds of cheedar cheese

Only Swiss cheese?

Pounds of cheedar cheese obtainable with $30

Total budget / cost per pound of Swiss cheese

$30 / 5 = 6 pounds of Swiss cheese

A mixture of both cheeses?

What linear equation in standard form can she use to model the situation?

Let amount of cheddar cheese she can get = a

Let amount of Swiss cheese she can get = b

Hence,

(Cost per pound of cheddar cheese * number of pounds of cheddar) + (Cost per pound of Swiss cheese * number of pounds of Swiss cheese) = total budgeted amount

(3 * a) + (5 * b) = $30

$3a + $5b = $30
