For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.
Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe
Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b
Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b
I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.
Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p
178 = 2p + 6b
178 - 6b = 2p
89 - 3b = p
Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b
155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b
155 = 267 - 9b + 2b
155 = 267 - 7b
-7b = -112
b = 16
Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p
89 - 3(16) = p
89 - 48 = p
p = 41
one pair of pants = $16
one bracelet = $41
Hope this helps!! :)
This is a case of exponential growth. The appropriate equation, with the given data inserted, is P(t) = 500 ( 1+0.15)^50
or = 500 (1.15)^50

Step-by-step explanation:
Well each ladder has 30, and then it depends on how each person climbs their ladder. One climb at the rate of -2 per second. The other climb at the rate of 1 per second. Just x is equal to 1, that's why I didnt put 1x.
Equation: 30 + -2x = 30 + x
