Answer: Side of largest square tile will be 105 feet.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

dimensions of the wall is 42 feet by 10 feet

So,

Length of wall = 42 feet

Breadth of wall = 10 feet

First we calculate the H.C.F. of 42 and 10,

which is 2 only.

The largest square tile side would be 2 feet.

Now, we find the number of tiles used,

Number of tiles =

$\frac{\text{Area of wall}}{\text{H.C.F. of }42\text{ and }11\times\text{ H.C.F. of }42\text{ and } 11}}\\\\=\frac{42\times 10}{2\times 2}\\\\=\frac{420}{4}\\\\=105$

We get integer value of number of tiles.

Therefore, Side of largest square tile will be 2 feet.

Y = 5x - 13<br><br> 4x + 3y = 18

hram777 [196]

<span>replace Y = 5x - 13
into
4x + 3y = 18

</span>

4x + 3 (5x - 13) = 18
4x + 15 - 39 = 18
4x -24 = 18
4x = 18 +24
4x = 42
x = 42/4
x = 10.5

Y = 5(10.5) - 13
= 52.5 - 13
= 39.5

answer: x = 10.5 and y = 39.5

Answer:

$a_{n} = a_{1} (\frac{1}{2} )^{n - 1}$ where $a_{1} = 256$ .

The number of players compete in round 7 will be 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of players in a tennis tournament is reduced by half (50%) after every round. In round 1 there are 256 players, in round 2 there are 128 players, and so on.

So, the number of players is multiplied by $\frac{1}{2}$ gives the number of players in the next round.
