Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary = 3x (3 times Carey)
Carey = x
Barry = x/2 (Because Carey read twice as many as Barry, it means he read half the amount Carey did)
3x + x + x/2 = 405
4x + x/2 = 405
8x/2 + x/2 (treat these as fractions) = 405
9x/2 = 405
9x = 810 (cross multiply)
x = 90
Mary = 3(90) 270
Carey = 90
Barry = 90/2 45
Mary - Barry
270 - 45 = 225
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
35 > y. 36 is not a possible solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Which sequence matches the recursive formula? an=2an-1+5, where a1=5. A) 5,10,15,20 B) 5,15,35,75. C)5,15,25,35. D) 5,20,35,40

The recursive formula
means that, to compute the next value, you have to double the previous one and then add 5.
So, we start with 5. To get the second term, we double it and add five, so we have
Next, we will double 15 and add 5:
So, the answer is B, because it's the only option starting with 5,15,35.
Just to check, let's compute the last step:
Which confirms option B
