Since the sixth term is 1215 and the 5th term is 405, we know each term is 3 times more than the last.
Let 'n' represent the first term, then the sum of the first 9 terms can be written as:
n+3n+9n+27n+81n+243n+729n+2187n+6561n
which sinplifies to 9841n
since each term is 3 times the last, the first term must be 405 divided by 3, 4 times in total, which is 5
Now subsitute 'n' for 5, and we get 9841(5)
which is 49205 which is the answer.

Hope this helps

2x+3y=-12<br> 2x+t=-16<br> X=. Y=<br> Help plz
8090 [49]

<u>To make this problem solvable, I have replaced the 't' in the second equation for a 'y'.</u>

Answer:

<em>x = -9</em>

<em>y = 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solve the system:</u>

2x + 3y = -12       [1]

2x + y = -16       [2]

Subtracting [1] and [2]:

3y - y = -12 + 16

2y = 4

y = 4/2 = 2

From [1]:

2x + 3(2) = -12

2x + 6 = -12

2x = -18

x = -18/2 = -9

Solution:

x = -9

y = 2

ipn [44]

Maya is cleaning out her closet and is shocked when she realizes that she has 55 shirts. She decides to donate 40% of them. How many more shirts does she have for her ?

Answer:

The number of T-shirt that Maya will have after donating 40% is 22 shirts

Explanation:

Given:( as per the above data provided)

Total number of T-shirts = 55

Percentage of T-shirts she wish to donate = 40%

To find:

Remaining number of T-shirt left after donating?

Formula to be used:

Remaining T shirt = (Total number of T-shirt /100) X The Percentage of T-shirt she wish to donate

Steps:

Substituting all the above provided values in the formula we get,

              = (55/100)*40

              = 22 shirts.

Thus the number of T-shirts left with her is 22.

Find sin, where the angle is shown<br> Give the exact value, not a decimal approximation
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

sinΘ = \frac{24}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

sinΘ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

The opposite is 24, but we require the hypotenuse h

Using Pythagoras' identity

h² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{625} = 25

Thus

sinΘ = \frac{24}{25}
