Steven and Bob both have a Pokemon card collection. The number of Pokemon cards in Steven's collection can be represented by x.

Arada [10]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of Pokemon cards in Steven's collection = x

The number of cards in Bob's collection is 4 times the amount in Steven's collection= 4x

The total number of Pokemon cards in both collections = 240

x + 4x = 240

5x = 240

x = 240/5

x = 48

The number of cards in Steven's collection is 48

A sequence can be generated by using an=4a(n-1)

WITCHER [35]

This problem is half understanding the question and half just plugging in numbers.

Understanding the Question:
So its saying that n = whole number bigger than one, making n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Now try plugging any number n into the $a_n = 4a_{n-1}$ equation. Let's use 2 to make it simple. If you plug in 2, you get:
$a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\
a_2 = 4a_1$
Remember that the subscripts (the small numbers in the corner) are simply the term number. $a_1$ is term 1, $a_2$ is term 2, etc. The equation is saying that "term 2 = 4 times term 1."

If you keep plugging in random numbers for n, you'll see that the equation basically says, "a term = 4 times the term right before it." That makes it easy to plug and chug to get our answer.

Plugging and Chugging
Now we understand the question is asking for the first 4 terms, and each term is 4 times the last term. You're told that term 1, $a_1$ = 6. That makes the next four terms:

Term 2
$a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\
 a_2 = 4a_1\\
 a_2 = 4(6)\\
 a_2 = 24$

Term 3
$a_3 = 4a_{3-1}\\ a_3 = 4a_2\\ a_3 = 4(24)\\ a_3 = 96$

Term 4
$a_4 = 4a_{4-1}\\ a_4 = 4a_3\\ a_4 = 4(96)\\ a_4 = 384$

Your first 4 terms are 4, 24, 96, and 384.

Choose the equation and the inequality needed to answer this question.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Actually, what you said you have so far is not correct. The 2 correct answers are the 1st one (x + y = 15) and the 5th one (15x + 10y > 180)

Step-by-step explanation:

If tutoring French is x hours and scooping ice cream is y hours and he is going to work 15 hours for sure doing both, then we can add them together to get that x hours + y hours = 15 hours, or put simply: x + y = 15.

Now we are going to throw in the added fun of the money he makes doing each. The thing to realize here is that we can only add like terms. So looking at the equation above, we have x hours of tutoring and y hours of scooping, so if we want to add them, we will add those number of hours together to get the total number of hours he worked, which we know to be 15. The same goes for money. If we add money earned from tutoring to money earned from scooping, we need that to be greater than the money he wants to earn which is 180 at least. Because he wants to earn MORE than $180. we use the ">" sign. Since he earns $15 an hour tutoring, that expression is $15x; since he earns $10 an hour scooping, that expression is $10y. Now add them together (and you CAN because they are both expressions relating dollars to dollars) and set the sum > $180:

$15x + $10y > $180. That's why your answer is not correct. Use mine (with the understanding that you care about why yours is wrong and mine is correct) and you'll be fine.
