Linear Equation Word Problem Perimeter

To satisfy local building codes, a rectangular lot must have a perimeter of at least 500 feet before a building can be constructed on it. If L represents the length (in feet) of the lot and W represents its width (in feet), which inequality represents this situation?

• 2L + 2W ≤ 500

• 2L + 2W < 500

• 2(L + W) ≥ 500

• L + W ≥ 500

The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. Write a system of equations.

• 5q + 2z = 1.32
  1z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 1.32
  3q + 1z = 0.75

• q + z = 1.32
  q + z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 0.75
  3q + 1z = 1.32
