For the marigolds 
M  = 150(0.85)^x     where x is the number of months
For sunflowers 
S = 125 - 8x  where x = number of months

Part B
after 3 months there are 150(0.85)^3  =  92 marigolds

after 3 moths there are 123 -  8*3 = 99 sunflowers

Part C 

There are the same number of plants when  the 2 functions are equal:-

So we have  150(0.85)^x = 125 - 8x
solving this for x is not straight forward . it could be done by drawing 2 graphs and seeing where they intersect.

They come close to being equal after 2 months and after 14 months

The Newport Crab Company marks the location of its crab pots with colored balloons. They mark every fourth pot with a red balloo
sasho [114]

Answer: There are 310 pots that have three different colored balloons attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of crab pots in the bay = 600

Part of red balloon = \dfrac{1}{4}

Part of blue balloon = \dfrac{1}{6}

Part of yellow balloon = \dfrac{1}{10}

So, Number of pots that have different colored balloons attached is given by

\dfrac{1}{4}\times 600+\dfrac{1}{6}\times 600+\dfrac{1}{10}\times 600\\\\=150+100+60\\\\=310

Hence, there are 310 pots that have three different colored balloons attached.
