Consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence differ by a constant

. So



Denote the

-th term in the sequence by

. Now that

, we have

which means
1) name the variables:
- amount in account 1 "a"
- amount in account 2 "b"
2) trtanslate the statements into equations:
<span>- the
difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100.
=> a - b = 100
- if she uses 3/8 of
account 1 and 7/8 of account 2, Dawn will have a down payment of $2,000.
=> (3/8)a + (7/8)b = 2000
3) solve the system of equations
(1) a - b = 100
(2) (3/8)a + (7/8b) = 2000
Steps:
- multiply equation (1) by 7 and equaton (2) by 8
=>
(1) 7a - 7b = 700
(2) 3a + 7b = 16,000
- add the two equations
=>
7a + 3a - 7b + 7b = 700 + 16,000
- combine like terms:
10a = 16,700
- divide by 10:
a = 16,700 / 10 = 1670
- use equation (1) to find b:
a - b = 100 => b = a - 100 = 1670 - 100 = 1570
Answer: Dawn has $ 1670 in account 1 and
$ 1570 in account 2.

Based on the information how long did it take to reach $10650 is 7years.
Given:
Principal=$7,500
Rate=6%
Amount=$10650
Time=?
Simple Interest(SI)=A-P
=$10650-$7500
=$3150
Time=(100×SI)/(p×r)
T=(100×3150)/(7500×6)
T=315,000/45,000
T=7 years
Inconclusion how long did it take to reach $10650 is 7years.

All you have to do is substitute the y value from the 1st equation into the second equation and solve...
a) y= 2-x
5x + 4y = 5
Substitute (2-x) into the second equation anywhere there is a y...
5x + 4y = 5
5x + 4(2-x) = 5
Now solve
5x + 8 - 4x = 5
5x - 4x + 8 = 5
x + 8 = 5
x = -3
Now that you have a solution for x, substitute -3 into either of the original equations anywhere there is an x then solve for y...
y = 2 - x
y = 2 - (-3)
y = 2+3 = 5
You solved for x and got -3 and solved for y and got 5, so your solution set is
(-3, 5).
Now check it by substituting both numbers into one of the original equations and you should have a true statement if it is correct...
y = 2 - x
5 = 2 - (-3)
5 = 2+3
5 = 5
True statement... it checks!
note* during the check, if the equation would have worked out to something like 2 = 5, then that is a false statement therefore the solution set would be wrong and you'd have to go back and find the mistake.
