Use the equation 300⇒5x to find how much tim made each day on average. 
x⇒60   so, Day 1: $60, Day 2: $70 etc.. so the equation 300=5x+10 suffices the problem. 300⇒5x+10 ⇒    290=5x
x=58
So, Tim earned $58 his first day. Hope this helped.

The given problem is based on arithmetic sequence
Sn = 300 (the sum of money in five days)
d = 10 (the difference day by day)
n = 5
The question asks how much Tim earn on the first day, we write it as a₁

The general formula to find the sum of a sequence is
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn

Input the numbers to the formula to find the value of a₁
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(5-1)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(4)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 40) = 300
2a₁ + 40 = 300 × 2/5
2a₁ + 40 = 120
2a₁ = 120 - 40
2a₁ = 80
  a₁ = 80/2
  a₁ = 40

The first day, Tim earned $40

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

  (1, –5)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is relatively easy to try the offered solutions to see what works.

<u>(1, -5)</u>

  3(1) +10(-5) = -47 . . . true

  5(1) -7(-5) = 40 . . . true

(1, -5) is the solution

_____

As a check, you can try some of the other choices:

<u>(1, 5)</u>

  3(1) +10(5) ≠ -47

<u>(-1, -5)</u>

  3(-1) +10(-5) ≠ -47

<u>(-1, 5)</u>

  3(-1) +10(5) ≠ -47

None of the other choices works in the first equation, so they're not the solution.

What is the base area.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Area of the base is 10.5 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the volume of the given oblique prism = Area of the triangular base × Vertical height between two triangular bases

Vertical height = 6 cm

Volume = 63 cm³

From the formula,

63 = Area of the triangular base × 6

Area of the base = \frac{63}{6}

                            = 10.5 cm²

Therefore, area of the base is 10.5 cm².
