3c + 5t = 39....multiply by -3
9c + 7t = 63
----------------
-9c - 15t = - 117 (result of multiplying by -3)
9c + 7t = 63
---------------add
- 8t = - 54
t = -54/-8
t = 6.75 <=== tables are 6.75

3c + 5t = 39
3c + 5(6.75) = 39
3c + 33.75 = 39
3c = 39 - 33.75
3c = 5.25
c = 5.25/3
c = 1.75 <=== 1.75 per chair

What is the sum of series is numbers 64&66 ?<br> Using the summation notation

iragen [17]

Answer:

64. 6138

66. 8.078125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take it one number at a time.

For number 64:

$6(2)^{1-1}=6$

$6(2)^{2-1}=12$

$6(2)^{3-1}=24$

$6(2)^{4-1}=48$

$6(2)^{5-1}=96$

$6(2)^{6-1}=192$

$6(2)^{7-1}=384$

$6(2)^{8-1}=768$

$6(2)^{9-1}=1536$

$6(2)^{10-1}=3072$

Sum = 6 + 12 + 24 + 48 + 96 + 192 + 384 + 768 + 1536 + 3072

Sum = 6138

For number 66:

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{0}=12$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{1}=-6$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{2}=3$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{3}=-1.5$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{4}=0.75$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{5}=-0.375$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{6}=0.1875$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{7}=-0.0078125$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{8}=0.046875$

$12(-\frac{1}{2})^{9}=-0.0234375$

Sum = 12 + -6 + 3 + -1.5 + 0.75 + -0.375 + 0.1875 + -0.0078125 + 0.046875 + -0.0234375

or to make things simpler:

Sum = 12 - 6 + 3 - 1.5 + 0.75 - 0.375 + 0.1875 - 0.0078125 + 0.046875 - 0.0234375

Sum = 8.078125

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula:

$c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2}} \\a=100\\c=50\\c=\sqrt{100^{2} +50^{2}} = \sqrt{125000} = 111.80339$
