In a bag, the ratio of red to blue counters is 3:4. If 3 red counters are removed the ratio of red to blue counters becomes 3:5.
How many blue counters are there in the bag?

5x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

you should always add the diagrams and graphs we cannot see. this particular question is kind of borderline because we can make a graph for you.

(f + g)x = -x^2 +3x + 5 + x^2 + 2x

(f + g)x = 5x + 5

the graph of z = 5x + 5 is shown below. always use desmos when in doubt.

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
