Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that Phalicia opens her savings account one year (12 months) before she goes to college.
With Option 1, she would have saved 300 + 50 * 11 = $850. We do 50 * 11 and not 50 * 12 because she deposits $50 for 11 months, not 12.
With Option 2, she would have saved 5 * 3¹¹ = $885735. Note that we do 3¹¹ and not 3¹² because 5 is being tripled 11 times.
Obviously, she should choose Option 2 because she saves A LOT more money.
Additionally, we can notice that Option 1 is an example of an arithmetic sequence whereas Option 2 is an example of a geometric sequence. Their explicit formulas would be aₙ = 50n + 250 and aₙ = 5 * 3⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ respectively.
Answer:
The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Comment
Let the two numbers be x and y
Equations
x + y = 63
x - y = 12
Solution
Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.
2x = 75 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 75/3 Do the division
x = 37.5
Now use one of the given equations to solve for y
x + y = 63
x = 37.5
37.5 + y = 63 Subtract 37.5 from both sides
37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5 Collect the like terms on both sides
y = 25.5
Check
x - y =? 12
37.5-25.5 =? 12
12 = 12
