Set up a system of equations:

s = 2d - 5
s + d = 43

Where 's' represents the number of points Stilt scored and 'd' represents the number of points Dunk scored.

Plug in 2d - 5 for 's' in the 2nd equation:

s + d = 43

2d - 5 + d = 43

Combine like terms:

3d - 5 = 43

Add 5 to both sides:

3d = 48

Divide 3 to both sides:

d = 16

Plug this back into any of the two equations to find 's':

s + d = 43

s + 16 = 43

Subtract 16 to both sides:

s = 27

So Dunk scored 16 points and Stilt scored 27 points.

What is the attitude of the poem?
solong [7]
The tone of the poem gets more dramatic as the lyrical voice describes in more detail the consequences of the passing of time. Furthermore, there is a pessimist tone, as the lyrical voice concludes the quatrain by saying that beauty will eventually disappear (“Beauty o’ver-snowed and bareness everywhere”).

Hope this helps a little...

the other number is 50 - p

Consider a numeric example

2 numbers sum to 5 , one of the numbers is 3 what is the other ?

Obviously 2 , that is 5 - 3 = 2 gives the number

In the same way the number here is p and 50 - p is the other number

A pendulum swings 80 cm on its first swing, 76 cm on its second swing, 72.2 cm on its third swing, and 68.59 cm on its fourth sw
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

a_{n} = 80*(0.95)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by the following equation.

a_{n+1} = ra_{n}

In which r is the common ratio.

This can be expanded for the nth term in the following way:

a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1}

In which a_{1} is the first term.

In this question:

a_{1} = 80, r = \frac{68.59}{72.2} = \frac{72.2}{76} = \frac{76}{80} = 0.95

a. If the pattern continues, what explicit formula can be used find the distance of the nth swing?

a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1}

a_{n} = 80*(0.95)^{n-1}

timama [110]

Answer:

$ 1249.6

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

cost of saddle = $534.00

riding chaps cost  = $87.02

boots cost = $143.99

hat cost = $55.87

pairs of glove cost = $15.94

sales tax paid = 7.5%

Sam's lesson cost =  $35.00 per  lesson

number of lesson = 10

Total purchase cost

= $534.00 + $87.02 + $143.99 + $55.87 + $15.94

= $ 836.82

cost included sales tax

= 1.075 x $ 836.82

= $ 899.58

Cost of lesson = 10 x $35.00 = $350.0

Total cost of the Sam

= $ 899.58 + $350.0

= $ 1249.58

= $ 1249.6
