Let d be number of drinks and b be number of buckets of chips
2d+b=11 so we can say b=11-2d
3d+2b=19 and using b from above in this we get:
3d+2(11-2d)=19
3d+22-4d=19 subtract 22 from both sides
-d=-3 divide both sides by -1
d=3, and from earlier b=11-2d so
b=11-6=5
So a bucket of chips cost $5 and a drink costs $3
Answer:
a = 10 and b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We write out f(x)= ab^x for x = 0 and x = 3 to create two equations in a and b that must be solved simultaneously:
(0, 10): 10 = a*b^0
This tells us that 10 = a*1, or a = 10.
(3, 1250): 1250 = a*b^3 => 10*b^3, or
1250 = 10*b^3, or
125 = b^3. Taking the cube root of both sides, we obtain b = 5.
a = 10 and b = 5
Because there are 1000 millimeters in one meter, we can divide 1000 by 8 to see that 125 spiders that are 8mm long would fit side by side on a meter stick.
You do 220.8 times 3. That's 662.4 pounds of meat in a year.
