Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.
10x = 15 and
x =
If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:
Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is
where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:

Answer:
41 and 77
Step-by-step explanation:
x: his age the first time he went to space
y: his age the second time he went to space
the second time he went to space he was 5 years younger than twice the age when he went his first time, then:
y = 2x - 5
the sum of both ages is 118, then:
x + y = 118
If you replace y = 2x - 5 in x + y =118:
x + 2x - 5 = 118
3x = 123
x = 41
replacing x:
41 + y = 118
y = 118 - 41
y = 77
so when he was 77, he was 5 years younger than twice 41 ( 41*2 = 82 => 82 - 5 =77)
Answer: He rode 4.8 miles each day.
Variable: x = Constant distance distance traveledd each day.
Equation : 10+5x=34
Step-by-step explanation:
Total distance needs to travel = 34 miles
Distance already traveled = 10 miles
He will ride bicycle for 5 more days.
Let x = Constant distance distance traveledd each day.
Total distance = 10+5x
i.e.

Hence, he rode 4.8 miles each day.
