Let's read through this and make an equation:
? ("number")
? / -7 ("quotient of a number and -7")
(? / -7) - 2 ("decreased by 2")
<span>(? / -7) - 2 = 10 ("is 10")
</span>
Now we can solve:
<span>(? / -7) - 2 = 10
</span><span>? / -7 = 12
</span>? = -84

The number is -84

The first term of a geometric sequence is –2 and the common ratio is -1/4. What are the next three terms of the sequence?
Gelneren [198K]
I agree with the answer being B because since it's a common ratio you could just multiply -1/4 with -2 and keep doing that with each new term

A patio was to be laid in a design with one tile in the
Vlada [557]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tiles in the design is 1 + 2 + 3 + ...

We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1.  The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:

S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))

Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:

S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)

S = n/2 (n + 1)

Since S ≤ 60:

n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60

n (n + 1) ≤ 120

n must be an integer, so from trial and error:

n ≤ 10

Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.

What is the system of solution to y-x=-13 and -4x+3y=-51
poizon [28]
Equation 1 ==> y - x = -13
Equation 2 ==> -4x + 3y = -51
3(y - x) = 3(-13)
Equation 3 ==> 3y - 3x = -39

Equation 2 - 3
= (3y - 3y) + ( -4x - (-3x) ) = -51 - (-39)
-x = -12
x = 12

Substitude x into equation 1
y - 12 = -13
y = -1
