.. an = a1*r^(n-1)

So, for your values, ...
.. an = 3*(-3)^(n -1)

Sum of two number is 120. If the larger number is four times the smaller number, wbat are the two numbers

tankabanditka [31]

x+y=120_______1

x=4*y_________2

x=4y

substitute 4y for x in equation 1

`4y+y=120

5y=120

eliminate the coefficient of y

y=120/5

y=24

now,input 24 for y in equation 2

`x=4y

x=4*24

x=96

thus, the numbers are

96 and 24

I am assuming that 114114 is actually 114.

Toni: 20 + 0.80/lap
Marcy: 15 + 0.85/lap

Marcy: x laps
Toni: 114x laps

[20 + 0.80(114x)] + [15 + 0.85x] = 257
20 + 91.2x + 15 + 0.85x = 257
92.05x = 257 - 35
92.05x = 222
x = 222/92.05
x = 2.41 laps

Marcy: x = 2.41 laps
Toni: 114x = 114(2.41) = 274.74 laps

20 + 0.80(274.74) = 20 + 219.79 = 239.79 or 240
15 + 0.85(2.41) = 15 + 2.05 = 17.05 or 17

240 + 17 = 257
