Answer:

8d + 6b = 55

2d + 9b = 32.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'd' = # dog bowls

let 'b' + # bones

Rhonda:  8d + 6b = 55

Kelly:  2d + 9b = 32.50

we can multiply Kelly's equation by -4 to eliminate the 'd' terms:

Kelly: -4(2d + 9b) = 32.5(-4)

-8d - 36b = -130

now add the above equation to Rhonda's equation:

  -8d - 36b = -130

+  8d + 6b = 55

-30b = -75

b = 2.50

now we can use either equation and substitute 2.5 for 'b' to find 'd'

2d + 9(2.5) = 32.5

2d + 22.5 = 32.5

2d = 10

d = 5

Find the 10th term of the sequence 1,10,19,28,...
Rainbow [258]
For the first one the nth term is 9n - 8 so the 10th term is 9x10 - 8 = 90-8 = 82

For the second one the nth term is ⅓n + ⅓ so the 11th term is ⅓x11 +⅓ = 3.9999 = 4
