Answer:

  8 bags of pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...

  1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00

  -0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50

Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary).
Leokris [45]

Answer:

14848

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the terms of a geometric sequence with n th term

a_{n} = ar^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

here a = 29 and r = 58 ÷ 29 = 116 ÷ 58 = 2, hence

a_{10} = 29 × 2^{9} = 29 × 512 = 14848

A straight line has slope 1 and goes through the points (0, -1) and (a,3). Find the value of a.
