Let's set up an equation.
smaller number = x
larger number = 2x - 5
Now set up the equation so that the larger number plus the smaller number adds up to 43.
x + 2x - 5 = 43
3x - 5 = 43 ( I added the x and 2x)
3x = 48 ( I added 5 to both sides)
x = 16 (I divided both sides by 3)

Now let's check it. Substitute 16 for every time there is an x.

16 + 2(16) - 5 = 43
16 + 32 - 5 = 43
48 - 5 = 43
43 = 43
It checks. x is equal to 16, so that means:
smaller number = 16
larger number = 27

Hope this helps =)

Express the terms of the following geometric sequence recursively.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The most correct option for the recursive expression of the geometric sequence is;

4. t₁ = 7 and tₙ = 2·tₙ₋₁, for n > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for the nth term of a geometric sequence, aₙ is given as follows;

aₙ = a₁·r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

Where;

a₁ = The first term

r = The common ratio

n = The number of terms

The given geometric sequence is 7, 14, 28, 56, 112

The common ratio, r = 14/7 = 25/14 = 56/58 = 112/56 = 2

r = 2

Let, 't₁', represent the first term of the geometric sequence

Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence is presented as follows;

tₙ = t₁·r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ = t₁·2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

tₙ =  t₁·2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ = 2·t₁2⁽ⁿ⁻²⁾ = 2·tₙ₋₁

∴ tₙ = 2·tₙ₋₁, for n ≥ 2

Therefore, we have;

t₁ = 7 and tₙ = 2·tₙ₋₁, for n ≥ 2.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

27 stuffed bears

Step-by-step explanation:

Erin: 55   Su: 15

Erin: 55-7=48 ( 7 will be kept for herself)

Erin and her sisters: 48/4= 12

Each sister besides Erin and Su have 12

Su: 15+12=27

Thus, Su will have 27 stuffed bears
