Thomas and Jenny went to a bakery to pick up some cookies for dessert. Thomas bought 3 pumpkin cookies and 2 raisin cookies. Jenny bought 2 pumpkin cookies and 4 raisin cookies. Thomas consumed 870 calories and Jenny consumed 750 calories. a. Write a system of equations to represent this situation.

b. Solve each equation for y and graph to find the solution. How many calories are the pumpkin and raisin cookies?

Based on the situation in part a, the width of a rectangular garden is x feet, and its length is 5 feet more than twice its width. the right side of the equation, g(x) = 2x2 − 13x + 6, can be factored to g(x) = (2x − 1)(x − 6). this function could represent an inner region of the garden from the first equation, such as a vegetable garden with a border around it. the length of this inner garden would be 2x − 1 feet, and the width would be x − 6, which would leave a 3-foot border around the garden. part d what is the value of g(8) for the function g(x) in part c? what does this value mean in the context of the situation you described in part c?
