In order to eliminate one of the variables, subtract one of the equation from the other equation.

<h3>How to eliminate one of the variables?</h3>

Given these equations:

o + 3s = 76 equation 1

o + s = 36 equation 2

Where:

o = number of orange juice bought

s = number of sandwiches bought

In order to eliminate one of the variables, subtract equation 2 from equation 1. The result is :

2s = 40

s = 20

What is the formula for the nth term of the given sequence 100, 20, 4, …
Naily [24]

Answer:

a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of geometric sequence:  a_n=ar^{n-1}

Given:

  • a₁ = 100
  • a₂ = 20
  • a₃ = 4

\implies a_1=a=100

\implies a_2=100 \cdot r=20

\implies a_3=100 \cdot r^2=4

Common ratio:

r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac15

Therefore:

a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}
