A pit at a recreational center contains a total of 2975 red and purple balls. There are 225 more purple balls than four times the amount of red balls in the pit. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. p+r= 2975 and p = 225 + 4r p= 2975 +r and 4p =r- 225 p= 2975 +r and 4r = p- 225 p= 2975-r and 4p r+225 Next GOOO

Biology Each day, an average adult moose can process about 32 kilograms of terrestrial vegetation (twigs and leaves) and aquatic vegetation. From this food, it needs to obtain about 1.9 grams of sodium and 11,000 calories of energy. Aquatic vegetation has about 0.15 gram of sodium per kilogram and about 193 calories of energy per kilogram, whereas terrestrial vegetation has minimal sodium and about four times as much energy as aquatic vegetation. Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the amounts t and a of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, respectively, for the daily diet of an average adult moose.
