To celebrate her birthday, Whitney wants to take her friends adventuring in a 4WD vehicle from All Terrain Tours. The vehicle can only carry 1700 pounds in total weight. Whitney calculates that the average weight of her friends is 165 pounds. She also thinks that she will need to pack 400 pounds of snacks, drinks, safety equipment etc. Whitney also understands that each person will carry 10 pounds of their own personal gear.

How many friends can Whitney invite?

Write an equation to help you figure out how many friends Whitney can invite to go adventuring with her. Use f as your variable for friends.

Whitney can bring 6 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is this:

Whitney is bringing 400 pounds of things plus her own body weight!

400 + 165 = 565 pounds

Now we add on Whitneys freinds which is 165 (their body weight) + the 10 pounds of gear which equals 175 pounds. So each friend would be 175 pounds total weight.

175 x 6 = 1,050 pounds

If we add on Whitneys total weight thats:

565 + 1,050 = 1,615

Adding on another friend would be 1,790 pounds which would be over the weight limit for the vehicle.

Hence, Whitney can bring along 6 friends for her birthday.

Hope this helped! :)

answer: x= -2y

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !
