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

128

A teacher Buys tickets for each of my students to visit a museum each student and $6.50 and she spent a total of $182 how many s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The ticket is bought for 28 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the teacher is going to buy museum ticket for each students.

Total money spent = $182

Price of each ticket = $6.50

Let total number of tickets bought = x

We know that to find the total amount of money spent on ticket, we can add price of each ticket (i.e. $6.50) x number of times.

OR

In other words, simply multiply the number of tickets with price of each ticket to find the total money spent.

Total money spent = x \times 6.50

We know that total money spent is $182.

\Rightarrow x \times 6.50 = 182\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{182}{6.50}\\\Rightarrow x = 28

The ticket is bought for 28 students

Solve the system by the substitution method.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

(2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations

x-3y=-4-------------------------------(1)

y=-3x+8.------------------------------(2)

Substitute 2 in 1. This means use the value of y in equation 1, to replace y

x-3(-3x+8)=-4------------------open brackets

x+9x-24=-4---------------------collect like terms

10x=-4+24

10x=20---------------------------divide by 10 both sides to get value of x

10x/10=20/10=2

x=2------------------------------use value of x in equation (2) to get value of y

y=-3x+8

y=-3(2)+8

y=-6+8=2

solutions

x=2, y=2
