100 ---> 96 is -4
96 ---> 104 is +8
104 ---> 88 is -16
88 ---> 120 is +32
120 ---> 56 is -64
So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.
The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64
Notice it's the powers of 2:
2^2 = 4
2^3 = 8
2^4 = 16
2^5 = 32
2^6 = 64
each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.
The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128
Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get
128+56 = 184
Therefore, the final answer is 184
Answer:
40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can simply make 200/5 = 40 5 minute calls per month.
This works because every call is a 5-minute call. So then we just have to find how many times we can make a 5-minute call up to 200 minutes. We already have an operation for this: Division. This acts as the opposite of multiplication and speeds our process up.
Answer:
(-5,-3)
(1,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving with substitution
Set both equations to y = ...
y = x^2 + 5x - 3
----------------
y - x =2
y = x + 2
----------------
Substitute one of the Y's with the other Y = equation.
x + 2 = x ^2 + 5x -3
Set one side to 0
0 = x^2 + 4x -5
x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0
Simplify by factoring
(x-1) (x+5)
Get your X values
x-1 = 0
x = 1
x+5 = 0
x = -5
Plug in each X into one of the equations to get your Y value.
1st X
y = x + 2
y = 1 + 2
y = 3
When X = 1, Y = 3
2nd X
y = x + 2
y = -5 + 2
y = -3
When X = - 5, Y = -3
Your answers are (1,3) and (-5,-3)
