The quantity of pepper cheddar cheese required = 2.5 kilograms

The quantity of Pennsylvania Jack required = 4.5 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Quantity of pepper cheddar cheese

y=  Quantity of Pennsylvania Jack

As per given , we have the following system of equations:

Multiply 8 to equation(1) , we get

Eliminate (3) from (2) , we get

Put value of x in (1) , we get

Hence, the quantity of pepper cheddar cheese required = 2.5 kilograms

The quantity of Pennsylvania Jack required = 4.5 kilograms

y - 25 = 2 ( x - 10 ) should be the answer
