Answer:

The students got 3 signatures on first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The number of signatures students get each day is 3 times as many as the day before.

Thus, the number of signatures form a geometric progression with common ratio 3.

r = 3

Number of signatures on sixth day = 3^6

n^{th} term in a geometric progression is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

where a is the first term of the series and r is the common ratio.

a_6 = 3^6\\3^6 = ar^{5}\\3^6 = a(3)^5\\a = 3

Thus, the first term of geometric progression is 3.

Thus, the students got 3 signatures on first day.

X = 7 + 3y
pogonyaev
<h3>Given Equation:</h3>

x = 7 + 3y

or, x - 3y - 7 = 0 ........ (i)

5x + 6y = 14

or, 5x + 6y - 14 = 0 .........(ii)

<h3>To Find:</h3>

The value of x and y.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

By dividing eq. ii by 2, we get

5/2x + 3y - 7 = 0 ........ (iii)

By adding eq. i and eq. iii, we get

15/2x = 0

or, <u>x = 0</u> ........(iv)

By putting eq.(iv) in eq. (i), we get

0 - 3y - 7 = 0

or, -3y = 7

or, <u>y = </u><u>-</u><u>7/</u><u>3</u>

<h2>Answer: ( 0, -7/3 )</h2>

The value of x and y is 0 and -7/3 respectively.
