Answer=24 blue marbles and 3 red marbles

r=red marbles
b=blue marbles
b=3(r+5)

27=b+r
substitue b for '3(r+5)'
27=3(r+5)+r
27=3r+15+r
27=4r+15
subtract 15 from both sides
12=4r
divide both sides by 4
3=r

There are 3 red marbles

27=b+r
27=b+3
subtract 3 from both sides
24=b

There are 24 blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 7:8, mark it as 7x:8x.

Now, they said that the first length is 273. Solve the equation:

7x=273

x=39

Substitute it into 8x. 39*8=312. That's your answer.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.
HACTEHA [7]
First, let's re-arrange to slope-intercept form.

x + 8y = 27

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

8y = -x + 27

Divide 8 to both sides:

y = -1/8x + 3.375

So the slope of this line is -1/8, to find the slope that is perpendicular to this, we multiply it by -1 and flip it. -1/8 * -1 = 1/8, flipping it will give us 8/1 or 8.

So the slope of the perpendicular line will be 8.

Now we can plug this into point-slope form along with the point given.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 8(x + 5)

y - 5 = 8x + 40

y = 8x + 45

Tigers:-

f(t)  = 7(1 + 0.1)^2   where t = number of years

Eagle 

g(t)  =  15 + 2t


B  after ten year  number tigers = f(t) = 7(1 + 0.1)^10  =   18

  number of eagles = 15 + 10(2) = 35

C when the number of tigers = number eagles the 2 functions will be equal;-

f(t) = g(t)  that is:-

7* 1.1^t  = 15 + 2t

solve for t
