Answer:
Sammy is 8 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
3s + 4 = 28 is the equation you need to use you have to get s on its own to find Sammy's age
3s + 4 = 28 subtract 4 from both sides
3s = 24 divide both sides by 3
s = 8 Sammy is 8 years old
Answer:
- 7
Step-by-step explanation:
6(- x - 3) = 24
-6x - 18 = 24
-6x = 24 + 18
-6x = 42
x = 42 ÷ - 6
x = - 7
This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term. So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number
In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so
a(n)=2^(n-1) so on the sixth week he will run:
a(6)=2^5=32
He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.
Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r) where the variables have the same values so
s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)
s(n)=2^n-1 so
s(6)=2^6-1
s(6)=64-1
s(6)=63 blocks
So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both of the fractions so 
to get 0.93 and 
to get 0.57.
Then you put them back into fraction form.
