Answer:
<em>x - y = 2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, you would combine like terms, giving you 4x - 4y + 1 = 9.
Next, subtract the numbers, which gives you 4x - 4y = 8.
Finally, divide both sides by 4, which will come to the conclusion of x - y = 2, the simplest form of which this equation can be broken down to.
The sum of any geometric sequence, (technically any finite set is a sequence, series are infinite) can be expressed as:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number
Here you are given a=10 and r=1/5 so your equation is:
s(n)=10(1-(1/5)^n)/(1-1/5) let's simplify this a bit:
s(n)=10(1-(1/5)^n)/(4/5)
s(n)=12.5(1-(1/5)^n) so the sum of the first 5 terms is:
s(5)=12.5(1-(1/5)^5)
s(5)=12.496
as an improper fraction:
(125/10)(3124/3125)
390500/31240
1775/142
Let's call dimes x and the quarters x+3 since we have 3 more of them.
x+x+3=45
2x=42
x=21
we have 21 dimes and 23 quarters
21*0.10=2.1
23*0,25=5.98
if we add those together it equals 8.08
