The solution to the equations is x=20 and y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Small tier = x

Medium tier = y

According to given statement;

1.The situation with a system of equations.

3x+y = 100 Eqn 1

3x+2y=140 Eqn 2

2. Solving the System of equations;

Subtracting\ Eqn\ 1\ from\ Eqn\ 2\\(3x+2y)-(3x+y)=140-100\\3x+2y-3x-y=40\\y=40\\Putting\ value\ of\ y\ in\ Eqn 1;\\3x+40=100\\3x=100-40\\3x=60\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{60}{3}\\x=20

The solution to the equations is x=20 and y=40

Five rectangles are arranged in a row. Each rectangle is half as tall as the previous one. Also, each rectangle’s width is half
olga2289 [7]
Answer: 682

Also, each rectangle’s width is half its height. It can be expressed as
w= 1/2h<span>
The first rectangle is 32cm tall. Then the measurement would be
h=32
w= 1/2h= 16
</span>The first rectangle is 32cm tall and e<span>ach rectangle is half as tall as the previous one. That can be expressed as
h(n)= 32(1/2)^n-1

The area of rectangle is
area(n)= h*w
area(n)=h*</span> (1/2h)= 1/2h ^2
area(n)= 1/2 {32(1/2)^n-1}^2<span>
area(n)= 512(1/2)^2n-2

Then the sum of the 5 rectangle would be:
</span>area(1) + area(2) + area(3) + area(4)+ area(5)
512(1/2)^2(1)-2 + 512(1/2)^2(2)-2 + 512(1/2)^2(3)-2 + 512(1/2)^2(4)-2 +512(1/2)^2(5)-2 = 
512+ 512/4 + 512/16+ 512/ 64 + 512/ 256=
512+ 128 + 32+ 8 + 2= 682
