Select the system of equations that represents this situation. Use c to represent the cost of a cup of coffee and w to represent the cost of a bottle of water. 6 cups of coffee and 2 bottles of water cost $14. 8 cups of coffee and 1 bottle of water cost $17. A. 6c+ 2w = 14 8c + w = 17 B. 2c + 6w = 14 c+ 8w = 17 C. c+ w = 17 6c + 2w = 14 D. 6c+ 8w = 14 2c+ w = 17

Translate to a system of equations and then solve: Mario wants to put a rectangular fence around the pool in his backyard. Since one side is adjacent to the house, he will only need to fence three sides. There are two long sides and the one shorter side is parallel to the house. He needs 155 feet of fencing to enclose the pool. The length of the long side is 10 feet less than twice the width. Find the length and width of the pool area to be enclosed.
