This is how I find the answer

45*0.2=9
0.2 represents 20%, and the amount of the discount is 9 dollars

| x - 1 | = 5x + 10<br> Check for extraneous solutions.

Ronch [10]

[x-1]=5x+10

We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10

x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4

2) x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2

we have two possible solutions:
solution₁; x=-11/4
solution₂: x=-3/2

we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4 - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4 + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4 This solution don´t work.

2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2 - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2 + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.

Therefore:

Answer: x=-3/2.

Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 1

Lorico [155]

Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.

How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?

let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

then

(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)

let the completed job = 1

A typical shared work equation

7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1

multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have

7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)

7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t

15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t

form a quadratic equation on the right

0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60

t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0

Factor easily to

(t-12) (t+5) = 0

the positive solution is all we want here

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

then

the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.

A geometric sequence is defined by the equation an = (3)3 − n.

Delvig [45]

PART A

The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

$a_{n}=3^{3-n}$

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3

When n=1,

$a_{1}=3^{3-1}$

$a_{1}=3^{2}$

$a_{1}=9$
When n=2,

$a_{2}=3^{3-2}$
$a_{2}=3^{1}$

$a_{2}=3$

When n=3

$a_{3}=3^{3-3}$

$a_{3}=3^{0}$
$a_{1}=1$
The first three terms are,

$9,3,1$

PART B

The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.

The common ratio is given by,
$r= \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}$
$r = \frac{3}{9}$

$r = \frac{1}{3}$

PART C

To find
$a_{11}$

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

$a_{11} = {3}^{3 - 11}$

This implies that,

$a_{11} = {3}^{ - 8}$

$a_{11} = \frac{1}{ {3}^{8} }$

$a_{11}=\frac{1}{6561}$
