Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have -5x + (-2) = -2x +4 add 5x on both sides and you will have

-2 = -2x + 5x +4 simplify

-2 = 3x + 4 add -4 on both sides

-2 -4 = 3x

3x = -6 divide both sides by 3

x = -2

A coffee mixture has beans that sell for $0.20 a pound and beans that sell for $0.68. If 120 pounds of beans create a mixture wo
atroni [7]
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x. 
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>

<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>

<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>

<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>

<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>

<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>

<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>

The first two terms in an arithmetic progression are -2 and 5. The last term in the progression is the only number in the progre
Rudik [331]

Given:

The first two terms in an arithmetic progression are -2 and 5.

The last term in the progression is the only number in the progression that is greater than 200.

To find:

The sum of all the terms in the progression.

Solution:

We have,

First term : a=-2

Common difference : d = 5 - (-2)

                                      = 5 + 2

                                      = 7

nth term of an A.P. is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

where, a is first term and d is common difference.

a_n=-2+(n-1)(7)

According to the equation, a_n>200.

-2+(n-1)(7)>200

(n-1)(7)>200+2

(n-1)(7)>202

Divide both sides by 7.

(n-1)>28.857

Add 1 on both sides.

n>29.857

So, least possible integer value is 30. It means, A.P. has 30 term.

Sum of n terms of an A.P. is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Substituting n=30, a=-2 and d=7, we get

S_{30}=\dfrac{30}{2}[2(-2)+(30-1)7]

S_{30}=15[-4+(29)7]

S_{30}=15[-4+203]

S_{30}=15(199)

S_{30}=2985

Therefore, the sum of all the terms in the progression is 2985.
