Answer:

  8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

On day 8, Isabella will save 256 nickels, bringing her total to 510.

_____

The number of nickels saved on day n is 2^n. The total is 2^(n+1)-2.

_____

The above can be written down from your knowledge of binary sequences. If you want a more formal development, read on.

__

The number of nickels saved on day n is a geometric sequence with first term 2 and common ratio 2. The n-th term of the sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1) = 2·2^(n-1) = 2^n

The sum of n terms of the sequence is ...

  S = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1) = 2(2^n -1)/(2-1)

  S = 2^(n+1) -2

__

We want S > 500, so ...

  500 < 2^(n+1) -2

  502 < 2^(n+1)

  251 < 2^n

  log(251) < n·log(2)

  n > log(251)/log(2)

  n > 7.97 . . . . . . . . 8 days or more to save more than 500 nickels

PLSSSS HURRY I HAVE A TIME LIMIT MUST SHOW WORK
Goryan [66]

Answer: XVR: 125 ; RVS: 55 ; WVS: 125 ; RST: 110 ; RSV: 70

Step-by-step explanation:

XVR: XVR is equal to WVS (alternate angles), and WVS plus XVW equals 180° (definition of a straight line)

So, 180° - 55° = 125° (this is the measure of SVW, but remember, SVW is equal to XVR)

RVS: RVS is equal to XVW since they're alternate angles, so we know that RVS is equal to 55°

WVS: We already solved this in the beginning

RST: First, we need to find the measure of RSV. To find the measure of RSV, use the fact that a triangle adds up to 180°. We know that the angle RVS equals 55°, and that angle VRS is also equal to 55°. So, we can use this equation:

RSV = 180° - (55° + 55°)

RSV = 70°

Now that we know RSV = 70°, we can find RST

180 - (RSV + RST)

180 - (70° + RST)

RST = 110°

RSV: We already found this

Sorry, that was a lot. Hope it wasn't too confusing.

What is the simplest form of 7/10 + 1/5
earnstyle [38]
Solutions 

1) Find the least common denominator of 7/10 and 1/5. 
10: 10 
5 : 5 , 10 
The least common denominator is 10. 

2) Make the denominator of 1/5 to 10. Multiply numerator and denominator by 2.

1 x 2 = 2 
5 x 2 = 10

3) New fraction 
7/10 + 2/10 

4) Add 
7+2 = 9 

9/10 is answer 

9/10 can not be simplified. It is already in reduced form.
