If you double a number and then add 1616, you get two fifths 2 5 of the original number. what is the original number?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the original number be x.

Acc. to the question,
2x+1616=(2/5)x
or, 10x+8080=2x
or, 10x-2x= -8080
or, 8x= -8080
or, x= -8080/8
or, x = -1010

Therefore, the original number is -1010

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = −A system of equations. y equals 0.5 x plus 3.5. y equals

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=0.5x+3.5$ -----> equation A

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (-2.714,2.143)

see the attached figure

therefore

The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 300 wildflowers in the first year that the park s

Scorpion4ik [409]

Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
