<span>Lets use x to represent how much each person spent.
Jolly's amount = xPauline's amount = yHarry's amount = 3y (he spent 3 times more than Pauline)
1. Set up 2 equations:
Jolly + Pauline = $1440 x + y = 1440
Jolly + Harry = $2658x + 3y = 2658
2. Put the equations in terms of x ( x = ______)
Jolly + Pauline x + y = 1440In terms of x:          x = 1440 - y
Jolly + Harry x + 3y = 2658In terms of x:         x = 2658 - 3y
3. Set the two equations equal to each other (so we can find the value of y, pauline’s amount)
If x = (1440 - y) and x also = (2658 - 3y), then 1440 - y must = 2658 - 3y
1440 - y = 2658 - 3y


4. Move like terms to the same side to find the value of y (pauline’s amount)-y + 3y = 2658 - 14402y = 1218
y = 1218/2y = 609

Pauline spent $609 total

5. Find out how much Jolly spentFrom earlier steps we found Pauline spent $609.We know that Pauline and Jolly spent a joint total of $1440, so subtract 609 from 1440 to find Jolly’s amount
1440 - 609 = 831

Jolly spent 831 dollars total.

Hope this answers your question, and May the Force Be With You!

Which recursive formula can be used to generate the sequence shown, where f(1) = 5 and n &gt; 1?
saveliy_v [14]

You can try them out and see which one works.

a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one

b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)

c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)

d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one

_____

The appropriate choice is ...

... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6

— — — — — 

You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.

Use exterior angles to show that the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS is 360°.​
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

I don't really know but one triangle is 180 degrees so two added together is 360 degrees...

but ohh I remembered

a=c+d (since a+b=180 and c+d+b=180)

e=g+h (since e+f=180 and g+h+f= 180)

and the fact is that c+d+g+h+b+f=the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS

a+e+b+f= the angle sum of quadrilateral PQRS (by substitutions)

a+e+b+f=360 (four angles are from one origin so it's 360 degrees )
