The way you typed it, it seems like you need to know the total number of beads, which would be 300
Answer:
D not here
Step-by-step explanation:
A-2 is not reasonable as it is not possible
C- bot possible
B- maybe
D- most reasonable
So in 10 days the grasshopper (x) is doubled (2x)
20 days it is 2(2x) or 4x
30 days it is 2(4x) or 8x
in 35 days it is 1/2 of 10 so 1/2 times 2 times 8x=8x
it increased by a factor of 8
Factorize the quadratic.
We have 
, so
Now, both 
and 
(since the absolute value of any number cannot be negative), so we just need to worry about when the left side is exactly zero. This happens for
So the solution to the inequality is the set
x=ferns ; y=ivy
12x+8y=260
6x+15y=240
x=60 -(15/6)y
12(60+ (15/6)y + 8y = 260
x=60 -(15/6)y
720 - 30y + 8y = 260
x=60- (15/6)y
-30y +8y= 260-720 ==> -22y= -460
x=60 -(15/6)y
y= (-460)/(-22)= 20.9090909091
y=20.90
x=60 -(15/6)×20.90= 7.75
×(ferns)=7.75$
y(ivy)=20.90$
