x + y = 23

x = 2y-1

y + 2y-1 =23

3y-1 =23

3y =24

y = 24/3 =8

 y = 8

 x = 2*8-1 = 15

15+8 = 23

 the 2 numbers are 8 & 15

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given,

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y

Also given,

y = 2x - 1

y= 2(23 -y) -1

y = 46 - 2y - 1

3y = 45

y = 15

x = 23 - y = 23 - 15 = 8

Hence, the two numbers are 15 and 8.

Answer:

$1,448.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value of an annuity with yearly deposits 'P' at an interest rate of 'r' invested for 'n' years is determined by:

FV = P[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r}]

For P = $100, r = 0.08 and n = 10 years:

FV = 100[\frac{(1+0.08)^{10}-1}{0.08}]\\FV=\$1,448.66

The amount at the end of the ten years is $1,448.66

A sequence is defined by the recursive function f(n+1)=f(n). If f(3)=9, what is f(1)?
vekshin1
Put n=2 ,
f(2+1) = f(2) => f(3) = f(2) = 9
now, put n=1,
f(1+1) = f(1) => f(2) = f(1) = 9
