Suppose

is the number of possible combinations for a suitcase with a lock consisting of

wheels. If you added one more wheel onto the lock, there would only be 9 allowed possible digits you can use for the new wheel. This means the number of possible combinations for

wheels, or

is given recursively by the formula

starting with

(because you can start the combination with any one of the ten available digits 0 through 9).
For example, if the combination for a 3-wheel lock is 282, then a 4-wheel lock can be any one of 2820, 2821, 2823, ..., 2829 (nine possibilities depending on the second-to-last digit).
By substitution, you have

This means a lock with 55 wheels will have

possible combinations (a number with 53 digits).
Answer:
a. C = 12x + 110; b. $290
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The polynomial
Let L = cost of flip-flops
and S = cost of sandals
Then
C = L + S
= 40 + 4x + 70 + 8x
= 12x + 110
b. The cost
C = 12 × 15 + 110
= 180 + 110
= $290
The cost of making 15 flip-flops and 15 sandals is $290.
Step-by-step explanation:
22 because if we add4+18=22
Answer:
<h2>231cm²</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's find the surface area of both the triangles
5x3=15
So, the surface area of the triangles is 15 sq.cm
Now, let's find the surface area of the base (large rectangle in the middle)
12x8=?
10x8=80
2x8=16
80+16=96
12x8=96
So, the surface area of the base, is 96sq.cm
Now, let's find the surface area of both of the side rectangles
12x5=60
60x2=120
So, the surface area of the two side rectangles is 120sq.cm
Now, let's find the total surface area by adding all of our answers.
120+96=216
216+15=231
<h2>
So hence, the surface area of this net is 231cm²</h2>
