Answer:

10 pounds. Hope this helps!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 pound serves 8 people you can express that as a ratio of 2:8 so to get 8 people to 40 you multiply by 5 so you must do the same for the amount of pasta so 2 multiplied  5 equals 10.

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the sum of the first five terms is 250,find the sequence​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The  sequence  is:

10, 30, 50, 70, 90.....................

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

First term (a) = 10

Common difference (d) = ?

Sum of first 5 terms (S_{5}) = 250

or, \frac{n}{2} [{2a+(n-1)d}] = 250

or, \frac{5}{2} [2*10 + 4d]=250

or, \frac{5}{2} * 4[5+d]=250

or, 10(5 + d) =250

or, 5 + d = 25

∴ d = 20

Now,

2nd term = a + d = 10 + 20 = 30

3rd term = a + 2d = 10 + 2*20 = 10 + 40 = 50

4th term = a + 3d = 10 + 3*20 = 10 + 60 = 70

5th term = a + 4d = 10 + 4*20 = 10 + 80 = 90

What is the solution to the system of linear equations below?<br> - 2x + 5y<br> 30
avanturin [10]
Answer: Infinite solutions

Step 1: Turn this into y=Mx+b form

The current equation is—

-2x+5y=30

Since we want to get y alone on the left side, let’s add 2x on both sides

-2x+5y=30
+2x +2x
____________
5y=2x+30

Step 2: Again, trying to get y alone, we need to divide 5 on both sides

5y=2x+30
/5 /5 /5
________
y=2/5x+6

Step 3: Now that we know how to find y, substitute that in where y is in the equation

-2x + 5(2/5x+6) = 30
-2x + 2x + 30 = 30
30=30

Seeing that you cannot get a specific answer for y when solving, there is an infinite number of solutions


Hope this is right and it helps comment below for more questions :)
