-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given information
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 bags + 4 pens = $950
4 bags + 3 pens = $1150

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the 2 equations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the cost of 1 bag.
Let y be the cos of 1 pen.

3x + 4y = 950
4x + 3y = 1150

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3x + 4y = 950  -------------- (1)
4x + 3y = 1150 ------------- (2)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1) x 4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12x + 16y = 3800 ------------- (1a)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (2) x 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12x + 9y = 3450  ------------- (2a)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1a) - (2a)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (12x + 16y) - (12x + 9y) = 3800 - 3450
7y = 350
y = 350 ÷ 7
y = 50 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 50 into equation (1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3x + 4 (50)  = 950
3x + 200 = 950
3x = 950 - 200
3x = 750
x = 250

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of a bag and a pen
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bag  = x = $250
Pen = y = $50

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The bag cost $250 and the pen cost $50
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which value represents the first two terms of the sequence a1=2 and an=-3(an-1)^2?
satela [25.4K]
I'm not really sure what you're asking, but if you want to calculate the first two terms of the sequence after a1, then here's the answer:
If a1=2, then a2 = -3(a1 - 1)^2 = -3(2-1)^2 = -3*(-1)^2 = -3*1 = -3.
Then, a3 = -3(a2 - 1)^2 = -3(-3-1)^2 = -3(-4)^2 = -3*16 = -48.
I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted.

kelly bought some stuffed animals for 6.49 each she also got a box fo chocolate for 8.32 she paid a total of 27.79 to write an e
katrin [286]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

She only bought one chocolate so you will subtract 8.32 from her total, 27.79, when you do that you will get 19.47.  You do that so you can know the total of the stuffed animals by them self.  Then all you have left in the total is her stuffed animals so you divide 19.47 by 6.49, when you do that you get three, so that means that she got three stuffed animals.
