Answer:

128

Step-by-step explanation:

As common ratio is 1/4 ; let the first four terms of the geometric series be :

x , 1 / 4 .x , (1 / 4)2 .x , (1 / 4)3 .x or

x , x / 4 , x / 16 and x / 64

Now there sum is 170 , hence

x + x / 4 + x / 16 + x / 64 = 170 or

(64a + 16a + 4a + a ) / 64 = 170 or

85a / 64 = 170

a = 128

Hence first first term of the series is

(x+y,y+3)=(6,2y) find the value of x and y

trasher [3.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Given:-

(X+y,y+3)=(6,2y)

Equating corresponding elements,we get,

X+y=6------(1)

y+3=2y-----(2)

solving equation (2),

y-2y=-3

-y=-3

y=3.

Now, substituting y=3 in equation (1)

X+3=6

X=6-3

X=3

Therefore,. (X,Y) = (3,3)
