Astore sells pencils in small and large boxes. a large box has ten times as many pencils as a small box. mr. adachi buys 5 small boxes and 2 large boxes, for a total of 250 pencils. mr. adachi sets up a system of equations to model this situation. one of the equations is y = 10x. what is the other equation? enter your answer in ax + by = c form, where a and b are whole numbers with no common factor other than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent a small box of pencil and represent a large box of pencil.

We were told that "A large box has ten times as many pencils as a small box". This statement gave the equation;

If Mr. Adachi buys 5 small boxes and 2 large boxes, for a total of 250 pencils, then the equation Mr. Adachi set up was;

where and has no common factor other than 1.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

ok then what happened.
