1. Jeremiah is making a shake by mixing two different protein powders, measured in ounces. The strawberry-flavored powder has 4 grams of protein per ounce. The banana-flavored powder has 3 grams of protein per ounce. He wants the drink to have a total of 6 ounces of powder and contain 22 grams of protein.
a. Create a system of linear equations to represent the situation that will determine the exact number of ounces needed for each power.
b. Based on the system you wrote, which algebraic method of solving systems of equations will you choose to solve the system? Explain your choice.
