Answer:

$140

Step-by-step explanation:

If x was the amount of money Mr. Green had remaining, and y was the amount of money Mrs. Green had remaining, then:

x / y = 3 / 2

And, since they spent the same amount of money:

200 - x = 180 - y

We can solve this system of equations through substitution.

x = 3/2 y

200 - 3/2 y = 180 - y

20 = 1/2 y

y = 40

So Mrs. Green had $40 remaining.  Since she started with $180, she must have spent $140.  So that was the cost of the shirt.  Let's check our answer by seeing how much Mr. Green had remaining and how it compares.

$200 - $140 = $60

$60 / $40 = 3 / 2

Yep, it checks out.

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 = 6 and r = 1/3? Express your answer as an improper fracti
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

  S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

  S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

  6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

PLEASE HELP <br><br> Find f(2) if f(x) = (x + 1)2.<br> a 9 <br> b 6<br> c 5
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2 in this situation, so plug in 2 for x.

f(2) = (x + 1)2

f(2) = (2 + 1)2

f(2) = (3)2

f(2) = 6

f(2) = 6. That means b is the answer.
