Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Known facts:

  • the ratio of mass potatoes to the mass of carrots is 5:2
  • the mass of potato is 9kg more than the mass of carrot

Let us set up the equation:

  • variables: mass of potatoes: p, the mass of carrots: c

p/c = 5/2 --> 2p = 5c --> 2p -5c = 0 -- equation 1

p = 9 + c --> p - c = 9 -- equation 2

Multiple equation 2 by 2

2p - 2c = 18 -- equation 3

subtract equation 1 and equation 3

-3c = -18

c = 6, so p = 15

So the total mass of both ingredients is 21 kg

suppose a population of 250 crickets doubles in size every six months. How many crickets will there be after two years?
lord [1]

double every 6 months 

in 6 months there would be 250*2 = 500 crickets

 in 1 year there would be 500*2 = 1000 crickets

in 1.5 years there would be 1000 *2 = 2000 crickets

 in 2 years there would be 2000 *2 = 4000 crickets

Answer:

2x +21

Step-by-step explanation:

log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)}   +  log_{3} {729}^{5}   \\  \\  =  log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)}   +  log_{3} {( {3}^{6} )}^{5}   \\  \\  =  log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)}   +  log_{3} { {3}}^{6 \times 5}   \\  \\  =  log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)}   +  log_{3} { {3}}^{30}    \\  \\ =(2x - 9)  log_{5} {5} + 30 log_{3} { {3}}   \\  \\  = (2x - 9).1 + 30(1 )\\ ( \because \: log_{a} { {a}}    = 1) \\  \\  = 2x - 9 + 30 \\  \\  = 2x +21
