A dragon likes to eat red peppers and green peppers because they help him breathe fire. If the dragon eats 2 red peppers, he can
breathe fire that is 25 meters long. If the dragon eats 10 green peppers, he can breathe fire that is 15 meters long. Today, the dragon ate 3 red peppers and 5 green peppers. How long is the fire?
PLS HELP
Okay, so if 2 peppers is 25 meters long, you just divide 25 by 2 to get how many peppers the dragon breathes as 1 pepper. So then you get 12.5, And if you do that with the green peppers, you get 1.5. So, the dragon ate 3 green peppers, so it's 12.5 x 3 , aka. 12.5+12.5+12.5. That's 37.5, and if you do 1.5x5 for the green peppers, it's 7.5, And now you add 37.5+7.5, and you get 45.
It would be 20 hrs because if you put them both in an equation aka y=25x+100 and y=30x just plug in numbers into the x until they both have the answer which in this case is 20
