Answer:
(-5/2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply x-y intercepts theorem
(x,y)=(0,y) and (x,0).
then substitutes.
Answer:
One
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 12) = 4x - 1
x + 12 = 4x - 1
12 = 3x - 1
13 = 3x
x = 13/3 = 4.3333333...
Since x only has one value, only one solution exists for the equation.
Answer: choice B) a35 = -118
=====================================================
Explanation:
When n = 5, an = 32 as shown in the first column of the table. This means the fifth term is 32. Plug in those values to get
an = a1+d(n-1)
32 = a1+d(5-1)
32 = a1+4d
Solve for a1 by subtracting 4d from both sides
a1 = 32-4d
We'll plug this in later
Turn to the second column of the table. We have n = 10 and an = 7. Plug those values into the formula
an = a1+d(n-1)
7 = a1 + d(10-1)
7 = a1+9d
Now substitute in the equation in which we solved for a1
7 = a1+9d
7 = 32-4d+9d ... replace a1 with 32-4d
7 = 32+5d
5d = 7-32
5d = -25
d = -25/5
d = -5
This tells us that we subtract 5 from each term to get the next term.
Use this d value to find a1
a1 = 32-4d
a1 = 32-4*(-5)
a1 = 32+20
a1 = 52
The first term is 52
--------------
The nth term formula is therefore
an = 52 + (-5)(n-1)
which simplifies to
an = -5n + 57
To check this result, plug in n = 5 to find that a5 = 32. Similarly, you'll find that a10 = 7 after plugging in n = 10. I'll let you do these checks.
--------------
Replace n with 35 to find the 35th term
an = -5n + 57
a35 = -5(35) + 57
a35 = -175 + 57
a35 = -118
Y = 30 - 2(2)
y= 30 - 4
y = 26
Answer:
one tin of cheese $23
one tin of caramel $27
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' = cost of cheese tin
let 'y' = cost of caramel tin
10x + 8y = 446
22x + 11y = 803
i multiplied the first equation by -11 and the second by 8 to eliminate the 'y' terms
-110x - 88y = -4906
+ <u>176x + 88y = 6424</u>
66x = 1518
x = 1518 / 66
x = 23
find 'y': 10(23) + 8y = 446
230 + 8y = 446
8y = 216
y = 27
