Answer:
Solution: (-4, 2), x= -4 and y =2
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x - y = 30
-2y = x
Substitute for x
-8*(-2y) - y = 30
16y - y = 30
15y = 30
y = 30/15 = 2
Then x = -2y = -2*(2) = -4
Solution: (-4, 2), x= -4 and y =2
4/100= x/4,500
18,000/100= $180x2.5 = $450
Answer:
<em>For 10 visits, both gyms charge the same</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Gym memberships' costs are:
G1 = 100 + 2x
G2 = 12x
Where x is the number of visits to the gym.
We need to find the number of visits for which the charges for both gyms are the same. Thus equating the costs:
12x = 100 + 2x
Subtracting 2x:
10x = 100
Dividing by 10:
x =10
For 10 visits, both gyms charge the same
Answer:
an = 2·2^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are simple tests to determine whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric. The test for an arithmetic sequence is to check to see if the differences between terms are the same. Here the differences are 2, 4, 8, so are not the same.
The test for a geometric sequence is to check to see if the ratios of terms are the same. Here, the ratios are ...
4/2 = 2
8/4 = 2
16/8 = 2
These ratios are all the same (they are "common"), so the sequence is geometric.
The general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...
an = a1·r^(n-1)
Filling in the values for this sequence, we find the general term to be ...
an = 2·2^(n-1)
