We have that
<span>10x - 4 = 2 ( ? )
</span>I proceed to replace the missing value with the given expression
case a-------------> <span>5x - 4
</span><span>then
</span>10x - 4 = 2 (5x-4 )--------> 10x - 4 = 10x-8--------> is not solution
case b-------------> 5x - 2
then
10x - 4 = 2 (5x-2 )--------> 10x - 4 = 10x-4--------> is solution
case c-------------> <span>10x - 4
</span>then
10x - 4 = 2 (10x - 4 )--------> 10x - 4 = 20x-8--------> is not solution
case d-------------> <span>10x - 8
</span>then
10x - 4 = 2 (10x - 8 )--------> 10x - 4 = 20x-16--------> is not solution
the answer is the option b) 5x - 2
I got 71 but I’m not quite sure
Answer:
a(n)=1.15[a(n-1)]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that

Let
a0 -----> the length of the original copy
<em>The first copy is equal to</em>
a1=1.15(a0)
<em>The second copy is </em>
a2=1.15[1.15(a0)] or a2=1.15[a1]
<em>The third copy is</em>
a3=1.15{1.15[1.15(a0)]} or a3=1.15[a2]
therefore
A recursive formula will be
a(n)=1.15[a(n-1)]
