Problema Solution
a small can of an energy drink contains 3 more calories than 6 times the number of calories in a shot of the same energy drink. If a small can and a shot contain a total of 157 calories, how many calories are in each drink?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
c = the number of calories in a small can
s = the number of calories in a shot
a small can of an energy drink contains 3 more calories than 6 times the number of calories in a shot of the same energy drink
c = 3 + 6s
a small can and a shot contain a total of 157 calories
c + s = 157
by solving the system of equations
c = 3 + 6s
c + s = 157
we find
c = 135 calories
s = 22 calories
