defon

Answer:

Option C

The student's conclusion is correct because the solution to the system of equations $3x+2y=27$ and $2x+y=16$ is $(5,6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the cost of each burger

y-----> the cost of each sandwich

we know that

$3x+2y=27$ -----> equation A

$2x+y=(27-11)$

$2x+y=16$ ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations

Multiply the equation B by $-2$

$-2(2x+y)=-2*16$ -----> $-4x-2y=-32$ ------> equation C

Adds equation A and equation C

$3x+2y=27 \\-4x-2y=-32\\ ----------\\ 3x-4x=27-32\\ -x=-5\\x=5$

Substitute the value of x in the equation B

$2(5)+y=16$

$10+y=16$

$y=6$

The solution of the system of equations is the point $(5,6)$

so

The price of each burger is $\$5$

The price of each sandwich is $\$6$

A sequence is constructed according to the following rule: its first term is 7, and each next term is one more than the sum of t

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

$a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}$

We can see the pattern

$a_5=a_8=a_{11}=a_{14}=...=5\\ \\a_6=a_9=a_{12}=a_{15}=...=8\\ \\a_7=a_{10}=a_{13}=a_{16}=...=11$

In other words, for all $k\ge 2$

$a_{3k-1}=5\\ \\a_{3k}=8\\ \\a_{3k+1}=11$

Now,

$a_{2018}=a_{3\cdot 673-1}=5$

Delaware was the first state to enter the Union and Hawaii was the 50th. If we order the positions of entry for the rest of the

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

State A was the <u>12th</u> state to enter the Union. State B was the <u>11th</u> state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$
