Answer:
Each hotdog costs $1.65
Each juice drink costs $1.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's begin by letting represent the number of hot dogs and
the number of juice drinks.
The Baxter family bought 6 hot dogs and 4 juices for $14.10.
The Farley family bought 3 hot dogs and 4 juices for $9.15.
Now, we subtract these equations.
Since has reversed coefficients, it gets eliminated. Now solve for x.
NOW, we find y by substituting x with 1.65 (in either equation).
We'll use the first equation.
= 1.65
= 1.05
represents hotdogs and
represents juice drinks.
Therefore, each hotdog costs $1.65 and each juice drink costs $1.05.

Answer:
= 5n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₄ = 18 , then
a₁ + 3d = 18 , that is
3 + 3d = 18 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
3d = 15 (divide both sides by 3 )
d = 5
Then
= 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2 ← explicit rule
