This is an arithmetic sequence with the common difference being 1

and if u have 1 cent on day 1 and 2 cents on day 2....then on day 40, u would have 40 cents....but we need the sum of all the days..

the sum of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula :
sn = n(a1 + an) / 2
n = number of terms = 40
a1 = first term = 1
an = last term = 40

now we sub
s(40) = 40(1 + 40) / 2
s(40) = 40(41)/2
s(40) = 1640/2
s(40) = 820.....820 cents = $ 8.20 <== the sum

The area of Sahara desert is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert. If the sum of their areas is 4,000,000 square miles, find the
ryzh [129]
X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).
