Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern 1 consists of
small squares (here n = 1 and
).
Pattern 2 consists of
small squares (here n = 2 and
).
Pattern 3 consists of
small squares (here n = 3 and
).
Thus, pattern n consists of
small squares.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for a to later on replace it in the first equation.

Now plug this into the first equation.

Distribute the 9

Break down the fraction.

Simplify.

Subtract 

Combine like terms.



Muliply by the reciprocal or inverted fraction next to b.


Now plug this value into any of the equations to find the value of a.

Answer:
3003
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find out how many ways we can choose 10 players among 15 players (since the goalie is not interchangeable)
The number of different lineups you can have can be found by using combination:

There are 3003 different lineups that can be chosen.
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19
red=19
blue=8
Answer:
89%
Step-by-step explanation:
500-55=445
445/500=0.89
0.89x100=89
