Technically you could answer this one by one, by substituting n with 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5. Like here:
A1=(-2)A1-1
=(-2)A0, then substituting A0 with -1...
=(-2)(-1)
Which would mean A1=2. Then..
A2=(-2)A2-1
A2=(-2)A1
A2=(-2)(2)
Which would mean A2=-4.
By repeating this process you'd eventually get A4..
A5=(-2)A4
if you did the steps right you'd get that A4 is -16..
A5=(-2)(-16).
Then simplify to get your answer.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The measure of the angle is 34 deg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle measure = x

"the supplement of an angle is twenty-four degrees less than five times the angle"

The supplement's measure is 5x - 24

The measures of supplementary angles is 180 deg.

x + 5x - 24 = 180

6x - 24 = 180

6x = 204

x = 34

Answer: The measure of the angle is 34 deg.

The answer is 246:157.

Step by Step:

Group A:

First, figure out 1/5 of the people in group A. ( 615/5 = 123 )

Find 2/5 ( the amount of people who lost ) ( 123*2 = 246 )

Group B:

They received the same amount of fuel cards, so you take 526 - 369 ( 3/5 of the last group, or the winners, which is the amount of cards they received ) = 157.
