Answer:
22 comic books.
Step-by-step explanation:
(20 - 9) * 2 First subtract 9 from 20
11 * 2 Multiply 11 by 2
22 is the product
1/4 is the correct answer
Answer:
(a) (6, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations has one of them in y= form, so it lends itself to solution by substitution.
__
Using the equation for y to substitute into the first equation, we have ...
2x -y = 10
2x -(-1/2x +5) = 10 . . . . . substitute for y
2x +1/2x -5 = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5/2x = 15 . . . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5
Using the equation for y, we have ...
y = -1/2(6) +5 = -3 +5
y = 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, 2).
T_n = 3 * T_(n-1)
Long way (always works!)
T_5 = 3*T_4,
T_4 = 3*T_3
T_3 = 3*T_2
T_2 = 3*T_1
T_5 = 3*3*3*3*T_1 = 81*T_1 = 81*8 = 648!
Short way (sometimes it works!)
T_n = 3^(n-1) * T_1 (this case is a geometric series of ratio-=3)
T_5 = 3^4*8 = 648
