Answer:

x= -2 and y= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y=24-------A

y=-4x---------B

Putting the value of y from B in A

8x+5(-4x)=24

8x +(-20x)= 24

8x-20x=24

-12x=24

x= -24/12

x=-2--------C y =-4(-2)=8

Answer:

<h3> A. $\bold{a_n=-3\cdot\left(\frac18\right)^{n-1}}$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{cases}a_1=-3\\a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot\dfrac18\end{cases}\\\\\\a_2=a_{2-1}\cdot\frac18=a_1\cdot\frac18\\\\r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_1\cdot\frac18}{a_1}=\dfrac18\\\\\\a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\\\\a_n=-3\cdot\left(\frac18\right)^{n-1}$

A store has shirts on display. Seven of the shirts are red. There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. There are 2 fewer ye

Nady [450]

Answer: green shirts = 6

Blue shirts = 11

Yellow shirts = 4

Red shirts = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Red shirts = 7

Let green shirts be x.

There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. This means:

Blue shirts = x + 5

There are 2 fewer yellow shirts than green shirts. This means:

Yellow shirts = x - 2

There are 28 shirts in total

Red + blue + yellow + green = 28

7 + (x + 5) + (x - 2) + x = 28

7 + x + 5 + x - 2 + x = 28

10 + 3x = 28

3x = 28 - 10

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

There are 6 green shirts

Blue shirts = x + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Yellow shirts = x - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4

Red shirts = 7

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

iragen [17]

Answer:

x = 67.50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider, ΔMAB and ΔMNP,

∠M = ∠M (Common)

Given AB║NP and let MN as transversal,

∠MAB = ∠MNP (alternate angle)

Also, Given AB║NP and let MP as transversal,

∠MBA = ∠MPN (alternate angle)

Therefore, ΔMAB ≅ ΔMNP (By AAA similarity )

Thus, by CPCT,

$\frac{MA}{MN}=\frac{MB}{MP}=\frac{AB}{NP}$

consider first two ratios,

$\frac{MA}{MN}=\frac{MB}{MP}$

Substitute the values, MA = MN - AN = 49.5 ft

$\frac{49.5}{71.5}=\frac{x}{97.5}$

On solving for x , we get, x = 67.50 ft

Thus, value of x is 67.50 ft
