sweater cost $20 and jeans cost $30

Answer:

A pair of jeans cost 40 dollars

A sweater costs 15 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = cost a of sweater

j = cost of a pair of jeans

4s +2j = 140

2s +3j = 150

I will use elimination to solve.  Multiply the second equation by -2

-2(2s +3j )= 150*-2

-4s -6j = -300

Add this equation to the first equation

-4s -6j = -300

4s +2j = 140

--------------------

    -4j = -160

Divide by -4

-4j/-4 = -160/-4

j = 40

A pair of jeans cost 40 dollars

Now we need to find the cost of the sweater

2s +3j = 150

2s +3(40) = 150

2s+120 = 150

Subtract 120 from each side

2s +120-120=150-120

2s = 30

Divide by 2

2s/2=30/2

s = 15

A sweater costs 15 dollars

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

x=50

Step-by-step explanation:

x in (-oo:+oo)

(2/5)*x+10 = 30 // - 30

(2/5)*x-30+10 = 0

2/5*x-20 = 0 // + 20

2/5*x = 20 // : 2/5

x = 20/2/5

x = 50

x = 50

Indicate the general rule for the arithmetic sequence with a3 = -12 and a8 = -37
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The general rule is a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d

In which a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:

a_n = a_m + (n-m)d

a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

First we find the common difference. So

a_n = a_m + (n-m)d

a_8 = a_3 + (8-3)d

-37 = -12 + 5d

5d = -25

d = -\frac{25}{5}

d = -5

So

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

Finding the first term:

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

Since a_3 = -12

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

a_3 = a_1 - 5(3-1)

a_1 = a_3 + 10 = -12 + 10 = -2

So the general rule is:

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 69. find the integers
Marta_Voda [28]
Let the integers be x-2, x, x+2.

Given,

x -2 + x + x + 2 = 69

3x = 69

x = 23

Hence, the integers are 21, 23 and 25.
