Robert Morris, generally considered the financier of the Revolution, donated ships from his fleet of tobacco-trading vessels and turned to privateering. Raiding British convoys, he became the richest man in America. He personally signed 6,000 notes to pay off Washington's troops when the war ended.

Answer:

The value of T₂₀ - T₁₅ is -20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

>> If for an A.P, d = -4

To Find :

>> T₂₀ - T₁₅

Using Formula :

General term of an A.P.

$\star{\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{ T_n = a + (n - 1)d}}}}}}$

>> Tₙ = nᵗʰ term
>> a = first term
>> n = no. of terms
>> d = common difference

Solution :

Firstly finding the A.P of T₂₀ by substituting the values in the formula :

${\dashrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{ T_n = a + (n - 1)d}}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a + (20 - 1) d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a + (19)d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a + 19 \times d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{20} = a + 19d}}}$

${\star \: {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{ T_{20} = a + 19d}}}}}}$

Hence, the value of T₂₀ is a + 19d.

$\rule{190}1$

Secondly, finding the A.P of T₁₅ by substituting the values in the formula :

${\dashrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{ T_n = a + (n - 1)d}}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a + (15 - 1) d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a + (14) d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a + 14 \times d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ T_{15}= a + 14d}}}$

${\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf \pink{ T_{15}= a + 14d}}}}}$

Hence, the value of T₁₅ is a + 14d

$\rule{190}1$

Now, finding the difference between T₂₀ - T₁₅ :

${\dashrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{T_{20} - T_{15}}}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{(a + 19d) - (a + 14d)}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{a + 19d - a - 14d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{a - a + 19d - 14d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{0+ 19d - 14d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{19d - 14d}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{5 \times - 4}}}$

${\dashrightarrow{\sf{ - 20}}}$

${\star \: \underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{T_{20} - T_{15} = - 20}}}}}$

Hence, the value of T₂₀ - T₁₅ is -20.

Answer:

(a) B

(b) $2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:

12t + 8p = 184

9t + 6p = 138

We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:

3 * (12t + 8p = 184)

4 * (9t + 6p = 138)

We get:

36t + 24p = 552

Subtract the second from the first:

36t + 24p = 552

- 36t + 24p = 552

________________

0 = 0

Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.

(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:

5t + 4p = 82

Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:

5t + 4p = 82

9t + 6p = 138

To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:

6 * (5t + 4p = 82)

4 * (9t + 6p = 138)

We get:

30t + 24p = 492

36t + 24p = 552

Subtract the second from the first:

36t + 24p = 552

- 30t + 24p = 492

________________

6t + 0p = 60

So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:

5t + 4p = 82

5 * 10 + 4p = 82

50 + 4p = 82

4p = 32

p = 32/4 = $8

So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
