Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a) This is an arithmetic sequence where 3 is added to the previous term.
48 + 3 = 51
51 + 3 = 54
54 + 3 = 57
The recursive formula for this sequence is:

b) This is a geometric sequence where 2.5 is multiplied to the previous term.
100(2.5) = 250
250 (2.5) = 625
625(2.5) = 1562.5
The recursive formula for this sequence is: 
Answer:
Side A is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n=11
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
8x - 7 = 3x + 9
8x - 3x = 9 + 7
5x = 16
x = 16/5 = 3 1/5
Answer:
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pen had chickens and bulls. The pen contains 40 animals in total. The number of legs in the pen is 130 .
Let
a = number of chicken
b = number of bull
a + b = 40................(i)
A chicken has 2 legs and a bull has 4 legs.
The total legs can be represented as
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
combine the equation
a + b = 40................(i)
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
a = 40 - b
insert the value of a in equation(ii)
2(40 - b) + 4b = 130
80 - 2b + 4b = 130
80 + 2b = 130
2b = 130 - 80
2b = 50
divide both sides by 2
b = 50/2
b = 25
Insert the value of b in equation (i)
a + b = 40
a + 25 = 40
a = 40 - 25
a = 15
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
