X= sandwiches
y= bottles of water

QUANTITY EQUATION
x+y= 200

COST EQUATION
$3x + $0.75y= $318.75

STEP 1
solve for one variable in quantity equation and substitute in cost equation

x+y= 200
subtract y from both sides
x= 200-y

STEP 2
substitute 200-y in for x

$3x + $0.75y= $318.75
3(200-y) + 0.75y= 318.75
600 - 3y + 0.75y= 318.75
combine like terms
600 - 2.25y= 318.75
-2.25y= -281.25
divide both sides by -2.25
y= 125 number of water bottles

STEP 3
substitute y=125 in either equation

x+y= 200
x + 125= 200
x= 75 sandwiches

ANSWER: There were 75 sandwiches and 125 bottles of water.

Hope this helps! :)

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is n/2(4n + 20).
lesantik [10]

Answer:

(a).

S_{n} =  \frac{n}{2} (4n + 20) \\  \\S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n - 4 + 20) \\  \\ S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16) \\  \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)(4n + 16)}{2}  \\   \\  { \boxed{S _{n - 1} =  {2 {n}^{2} + 6n - 8}}} \\

(b).

from general equation:

S _{n - 1} =  \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16)

first term is 4n

common difference:

16 =  \{(n - 1) - 1 \}d \\ 16 = (n - 2)d \\ d =  \frac{16}{n - 2}

Factor x^2+6x-16 into the form (x+a)(x-b), what is a and b?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a=-8 b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x-16

x^2+(8-2)x-16=0

x^2+8x-2x-16=0

X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0

(X+8)(x-2)=0

Compare with (X+a)(X+b)

Where we get a=-8 b=2

1-x-7/3=x+9/4-3x-8/12
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

x = 2 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the equation by 12. This eliminates fractions.

... 12 -12x -28 = 12x +27 -36x -8

Collect terms.

... -16 -12x = -24x +19

Add 24x+16

... 12x = 35

Divide by the coefficient of x

... x = 35/12 = 2 11/12

What is the factored form of n2 – 25? (n – 25)(n – 1) (n – 5)(n + 5) (n + 5)(n + 5) (n – 25)(n + 1)
dexar [7]
Hi there!
We are asked to find the correct factored form of n² - 25. Immediately, we can see that 25 has a perfect square root, 5. Now, we can rewrite the expression into n² - 5². Finally, using the difference of squares rule, we can derive the equation (n + 5)(n - 5). Therefore, the answer is (n + 5)(n - 5). Hope this helped!
