Question

ifede can use a limited number of spells to defeat trolls and goblins. it takes the same number of spells to defeat each troll, and it takes 3 spells to defeat each goblin. let ( t ) represent the number of trolls and ( g ) represent the number of goblins that ifede can defeat without running out of spells. 5t + 3g leq 85 according to the inequality, how many spells does it take to defeat each troll, and what is the maximum number of spells that ifede can use? it takes (\boxed{quad}) spells to defeat each troll, and ifede can use a maximum of (\boxed{quad}) spells.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

We know that the number of trolls and goblins is the same, so \( T = G \). The inequality is \( 5T + 3G \leq 85 \). Substitute \( G \) with \( T \) in the inequality.

Step2: Substitute and solve

Substitute \( G = T \) into \( 5T + 3G \leq 85 \), we get \( 5T + 3T \leq 85 \), which simplifies to \( 8T \leq 85 \). Then \( T \leq \frac{85}{8}=10.625 \). Since the number of trolls (and goblins) must be an integer, the maximum value of \( T \) (and \( G \)) is 10. Now, we need to find the number of spells per troll. Let \( x \) be the number of spells per troll (and per goblin, but the problem says "it takes the same number of spells to defeat each troll, and it takes 3 spells to defeat each goblin" – wait, no, re - reading: "It takes the same number of spells to defeat each troll, and it takes 3 spells to defeat each goblin." Wait, the inequality is \( 5T+3G\leq85 \), and \( T = G \) (same number of trolls and goblins). Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the problem says: "It takes the same number of spells to defeat each troll, and it takes 3 spells to defeat each goblin." Wait, no, the inequality is \( 5T + 3G\leq85 \), and we need to find the number of spells per troll (let's call it \( x \)), so \( T=x \) (no, \( T \) is the number of trolls, \( x \) is spells per troll). Wait, no, let's re - express. Let \( x \) be the number of spells per troll (so \( 5T \) means 5 spells per troll times \( T \) trolls), and 3 spells per goblin times \( G \) goblins. And \( T = G \) (same number of trolls and goblins). So substitute \( G=T \) into \( 5T + 3T\leq85\Rightarrow8T\leq85\Rightarrow T\leq10.625 \). So maximum \( T = G = 10 \). Now, substitute \( T = 10 \) and \( G = 10 \) into \( 5T+3G \): \( 5\times10 + 3\times10=50 + 30 = 80\leq85 \). Now, we need to find \( x \) (spells per troll) such that \( 5x+3x\leq85 \) (since \( T = G \), let's say \( T = G = n \), then \( 5n+3n=(5 + 3)n=8n\leq85\Rightarrow n\leq10.625 \), \( n = 10 \)). Wait, no, the coefficient of \( T \) is 5, which is the number of spells per troll? Wait, the inequality is \( 5T+3G\leq85 \), so 5 is the number of spells per troll, 3 is the number of spells per goblin. Wait, the problem says "how many spells does it take to defeat each troll" – so 5 is the number of spells per troll? Wait, no, the inequality is \( 5T+3G\leq85 \), where \( T \) is the number of trolls, \( G \) is the number of goblins. So 5 spells per troll, 3 spells per goblin. And we need to find the number of spells per troll (5? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the problem is: "It takes \( x \) spells to defeat each troll, and 3 spells to defeat each goblin. The inequality is \( xT+3G\leq85 \), and \( T = G \) (same number of trolls and goblins). We need to find \( x \) such that the maximum number of spells can be used. Wait, no, the original inequality is \( 5T+3G\leq85 \), so 5 is the number of spells per troll. Wait, the problem is asking "how many spells does it take to defeat each troll" – so the coefficient of \( T \) in the inequality is the number of spells per troll. Wait, that must be it. Wait, the inequality is \( 5T+3G\leq85 \), where 5 is spells per troll, 3 is spells per goblin. And \( T = G \) (same number of trolls and goblins). So we found that the maximum number of trolls (and goblins) is 10. Now, substitute \( T = 10 \) and \( G = 10 \) into \( 5T+3G \): \( 5\times10+3\times10 = 80 \). But we need to check the inequality \( 5T+3G\leq85 \). Now, if we want to find the number of spells per troll, let's assume that we use the maximum number of spells (85). Wait,…

Answer:

It takes \(\boxed{5}\) spells to defeat each troll, and Ifede can use a maximum of \(\boxed{85}\) spells.
