Answer:
a3 = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
a1 = 20
an = a(n-1) *3/2 where n is the term number
a2 = a(2-1) *3/2
a1 *3/2
We know a1 = 20
a2 = 20*3/2 = 30
a3 = a(3-1) *3/2
= a2 *3/2
We know a2 = 30
= 30*3/2 = 45
Answer: x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
3(5-2x)-3x=3
-15+6x-3x=3
-15+3x=3
3x=3+15
3x= 18
x=6
Wat is the first and second terminal point
B? hopefully its the answer have a nice day
10 pounds of candy costing $1.20 per pounds must be mixed with 40 pounds of candy costing $ 0.95 per pound to obtain a 50 pounds of candy costing $ 1 per pound
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the pounds of candy at $ 1.20 per pound
Then (50 - x) is the pounds of candy at $ 0.95 per pound ( since 95 cents is equal to 0.95 pound)
Therefore, x pounds of candy costing $1.20 per pounds must be mixed with (50 - x) pounds of candy costing $ 0.95 per pound to obtain a 50 pounds of candy costing $ 1 per pound
Then the equation becomes,
1.20x + (50 - x)0.95 = 50 x 1
On expanding we get,
1.20x + 47.5 - 0.95x = 50
0.25x = 50 - 47.5
0.25x = 2.5
x = 10
Then (50 - x) = 50 - 10 = 40
So we need 10 pounds of candy worth $ 1.20 per pound and 40 pounds of candy worth $ 0.95 to obtain 50 pounds of candy worth a dollar a pound
