Answer:
6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's solve for the rate, "b", by setting up a ratio with the two points given:
16.875/7.5=(ar^3)/(ar)
2.25=r^2
r=1.5
Now we need to solve for the initial value a using either point given...
7.5=a(1.5)^1
7.5=1.5a
a=5
So now we have solved for both variables and have a complete equation:
y=5(1.5)^x

<em /><em>PURPLE MARBLES=P
WHITE MARBLES=W
</em>First, write out an equation showing the number of purple marbles.
P=5W-6
Then, write out the main equation.
W+P=96
W+5W-6=96
Add 6 to both sides.
W+5W=102
6W=102
Divide both sides by 6
W=17
Now that we know there are 17 white marbles, we can go back to the equation about how many purple marbles there are.
P=5W-6
Plug in the value for W, which is 17.
P=5(17)-6
P=85-6
P=79
To make sure your answer is correct, check your work by plugging in the values for P+W=96.
79+17=96
Answer: There are 79 purple marbles.
