180 steel rods to be exact
Answer:
1. f(4) or f(n)= 28
2. f(-2) or f(n)= -2
(please consider marking brainliest <3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
n=4 n=-2
f(n)= 5(n)+8 f(n)= 5(n)+8
f(n)= 5(4)+8 f(n)= 5(-2)+8
(n)= 20+8 f(n)= -10+8
f(n)=28 f(n)=-2
Area = Length x Height
Area = 5.4 x 5.4
Area = 29.16
Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.
Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
