Ok, let's find how much does 1 yard of ribbon cost. Let's divide!
Each yard costs $1.50, so let's multiply that by 10
Marci will pay $15 for 10 yards of the ribbon.
B=7
3(b-4)+5b=44
3b-12+5b=44
8b=44+12
8b=56
b=7
2018 is the 70th term of the progression.
Explanation
We start out finding the common difference of the progression:
46-17 = 29
Now we write the explicit formula for the sequence. It is of the form
We set this equal to 2018 to see if the answer is a whole number. If it is, it will be the term number that gives us 2018:
2018=17+29(n-1)
Using the distributive property,
2018=17+29*n-29*1
2018=17+29n-29
Combine like terms:
2018=29n-12
Add 12 to both sides:
2018+12=29n-12+12
2030=29n
Divide both sides by 29:
2030/29=29n/29
70=n
Since n=70, this means 2018 is the 70th term of the sequence.
Firstly, let's take first factor:
(y^3)^2 = y^(3*2) = y^6
and then:
y^6 * y^7 = y^(6 + 7) = y^13
A. solve for 1 variable
let's solve for x in 2nd equation
add 2y to both sides
x=2y+4
sub 2y+4 for x in other equation
3(2y+4)+y=5
6y+12+y=5
7y+12=5
minu12 both sides
7y=-7
divide 7
y=-1
sub back
x=2y+4
x=2(-1)+4
x=-2+4
x=2
(2,-1)
B. eliminate
eliminate y's
multiply first equation by 2 and add to first
6x+2y=10
<u>x-2y=4 +</u>
7x+0y=14
7x=14
divide by 7
x=2
sub back
x-2y=4
2-2y=4
minus 2
-2y=2
divide -2
y=-1
(2,-1)
(2,-1) is answer
