Asap! a biologist is to set up an aquarium in his laboratory. he intends to buy 11 piranhas and 5 sharks. he has a budget of £200. if p represents one piranhas and s one shark, write down an equation for the price of one piranhas in terms of the price of sharks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p ---> the price of one piranhas

s ---> the price of one shark

we know that

The price of one piranhas multiplied by 11 plus the price of one shark multiplied by 5 must be equal to the budget of £200

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

Solve for p

That means ----> isolate the variable p

subtract 5s both sides

Divide by 11 both sides

8+10

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 4 by 2 and 5 by 2
