Answer:
If the person bout one box of chocolate O's than they paid $2.2 for 12 ounces
Notice the following pattern:
2 - 0 = 2
6 - 2 = 4
12 - 6 = 6
20 - 12 = 8
It's reasonable to assume that consecutive terms in the sequence differ by increasing multiples of 2, so that for the next number (call it x) we expect to see
x - 20 = 10 ==> x = 30
and for the number after that (call it y) we would see
y - x = y - 30 = 12 ==> y = 42
Use elimination
-x - y = -9
x - y = 3
Add both equations
-2y = -6, y = 3
-x -(3) = -9
-x = -6, x = 6
Final answer: x = 6, y = 3
Answer:
Has infinite many solutions. X=1
Step by step:
-3x-3=-3(x+1)
-3x-3=-3x-3
-3x-3+3=-3x-3+3
-3x=-3x
1.) 12+x is greater than or equal to 20
2.) 14 is greater than it equal to x
3.) 50 is greater than or equal to x
