Answer:

x = 29

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be represented as x and y

x + y = 35

x = 5y - 1

Substitute x as 5y -1 in equation one

5y -1 + y = 35

5y + y -1 = 35

Add 1 to both sides

6y - 1 + 1 = 35 + 1

6y = 36

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6= 36/6

y = 6

Now substitute y as 6 in any of the equations to get x.

Using equation one ,

We have

x + y = 35

x +6 = 35

Subtract 6 from both sides

x + 6 - 6 = 35 - 6

x = 29

Using sigma notation write the geographic series: 6+12+24+48+96

Alika [10]

Answer:

$\sum_{n=1}^{5} 6(2^{n-1})$

Step-by-step explanation:

6 + 12 + 24 + 48 + 96 =

= 6 + 6 * 2 + 6 * 4 + 6 * 8 + 6 * 16

= 6 + 6 * 2^2 + 6 * 2^2 + 6 * 2^3 + 6 * 2 * 4

= 6 * 2^(n - 1)

$\sum_{n=1}^{5} 6(2^{n-1})$

Find the area of a regular hexagon with the given measurement. 48-inch perimeter A = sq. in. the answer is a square root

svp [43]

The area of a regular hexagon is

... A = (3√3)/2×s² . . . . . where s is the side length

Of course, the 6-sided figure will have a side length that is 1/6 of the perimeter.

... s = (48 in)/6 = 8 in

... A = (3√3)/2×(8 in)² = 96√3 in² . . . area of your regular hexagon

A pound of rice crackers costs $2.88. Matthew purchased 1/4 pound of crackers. How much did he pay for crackers?

Rom4ik [11]

He payed 0.72
First you take 2.88, then you multiply it by 1/4 or a simpler way would be to divide 2.88 by 4. The answer is $0.72

Simplify the complex fraction. 8/5 divide by 6 3/4 *

hichkok12 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{5}$ ÷6 $\frac{3}{4}$

First, simplify the 6 $\frac{3}{4}$ to an improper fraction, which is:

$\frac{27}{4}$

Next rewrite the equation using the improper fraction:

$\frac{8}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{27}{4}$

Now, in order to divide the fraction, we will need to flip the second fraction over, and then multiply the two fractions together. A great way to remember this is the phrase Copy Dot Flip - Copy the first fraction, put a dot for multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

$\frac{8}{5}$ · $\frac{4}{27}$

Finally, multiply together and simplify/reduce if needed:

The final answer is $\frac{32}{135}$ and no simplification or reduction is needed
