Brother one: x

Brother two: x + 15

---

Make them add up to 55 in an equation.

x + (x + 15) = 55

Combine like terms.

2x + 15 = 55

Subtract 15 from both sides.

2x = 40

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 20

Plug 20 for x into brother two.

(20) + 15 = 35

Brother one has saved $20, brother two has saved $35.

Two sevenths of the height of a sailboats tallest mast is 8 feet. How many feet high is the sailboats tallest mast
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The answer is 28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two sevenths of the height of a sailboats tallest mast is 8 feet, we keep adding two sevenths until we get its tallest mast.

2/7 = 8 ft

4/7 = 16 ft

6/7 = 24 ft

(Adding 1/7 which is 4 feet)

we get 7/7 = 28 ft

Find the 8th Term for the Geometric Sequence for which a1 - 3 and r = -2
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

-384

Step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence : every new element is generated by multiplying the previous element always with the same number r.

a(n) = a(n-1) * r

a(n) = a(1) * r^(n-1)

so, a(1) = 3, r = -2

a(8) = ?

a(8) = a(1) * r^7 = 3 * (-2)^7

a negative number to an uneven power is again a negative number.

so, (-2)^7 = -128

3 * -128 = -384 = a(8)
