"The sum of three numbers is 85"

x+y+z = 85

"The second number is 7 more than the first."

y = x+7

"The third is 2 more than four times the second."

z = 4y+2

z = 4(x+7) + 2 = 4x+30


x + (x+7) + (4x+30) = 85

6x = 48

x = 8

y = x+7 = 15

z = 4x+30 = 62

Hope this helps!

Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number

8+15+62=85
85=85

A. Complete the chart based on the initial conditions:
Nata [24]

Answer:

a.

Month\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Pop(whole \ ant)\\month1 => x_1=80\times0.94^1=1128\\month2=>x_2=1200\times0.94^2=1060\\month3=>x_3=1200\times0.94^3=996\\month4=>x_4=1200\times0.94^4=936

b.

week Number\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Mass(g)\\week1 => x_1=80\times1.1^1=88g\\week2=>x_2=80\times1.1^2=96.8g\\week3=>x_3=80\times1.1^3=106.48g\\week4=>x_4=80\times1.1^4=117.128g

Step-by-step explanation:

a. From the information provided, we can deduce that the population death's follows a Geometric sequence in the form (a,ar,ar^2,ar^3...) where a-first \ term and r-common \ ratio

#Since the population is reducing, r can is obtained as r=1-r=0.94

#The n^t^h term is obtained using the formula x_n=ar^(^n^-^1^), given a=1200

The number of ants alive after every month (in first 4 months)

Month\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Pop(whole \ ant)\\month1 => x_1=80\times0.94^1=1128\\month2=>x_2=1200\times0.94^2=1060\\month3=>x_3=1200\times0.94^3=996\\month4=>x_4=1200\times0.94^4=936

The ant's alive after 4 months is obtained as the value of x_5

x_n=ar^(^n^-^1^)\\1-x_5=1-1200\times 0.94^4=936.89\\\approx 936

Hence, 936 ants are alive after 4 months.

b. As with the above question, the kitten population follows a geometric sequence: (a,ar,ar^2,ar^3...).

#Since it's a growing population , the common ration is the sum of 100% + the growth rate,

r=1.1 and a=80 and x_n=ar^(^n^-^1^)

The population after 4weeks will be:

week Number\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Mass(g)\\week1 => x_1=80\times1.1^1=88g\\week2=>x_2=80\times1.1^2=96.8g\\week3=>x_3=80\times1.1^3=106.48g\\week4=>x_4=80\times1.1^4=117.128g
