The answer is C. x, in the first equation. The first equation is easiest to simplify since other than 8y is their common variable, equation 1 is also divisible by 2 so it will not contain any fractions which would be harder to simplify.

Rearranging the first equation, the result would be:

2x + 8y = 12
8y = 12-2x----equation 1

This equation can then be directly substituted to the second equation since the value of 8y is given.

Substitute the right hand of the first equation of 8y which is 12-2x to the second equation. The result would be:

3x-(12-2x) = 11
3x-12 + 2x =11
5x = 11+12
5x = 23
x= 23/5

Use sigma notation to represent the sum of a geometric series with a first term of 3 and a common ratio of . A. B. C. D.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

\Sigma_{k=1}^{n}[3(\frac{10}{9} )^{k-1}]

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a list of numbers having a common ratio. Each term after the first is gotten by multiplying the previous one by the common ratio.

The first term is denoted by a and the common ratio is denoted by r.

A geometric sequence has the form:

a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .

The nth term of a geometric sequence is ar^{n-1}

Therefore the sum of the first n terms is:

\Sigma_{k=1}^{n}(ar^{k-1})

Given a geometric series with a first term of 3 and a common ratio of 10/9, the sum of the first n terms is:

\Sigma_{k=1}^{n}[3(\frac{10}{9} )^{k-1}]

Find the sale price to the nearest cent<br> $53 pair of jeans with a 20% discount
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: It is $42.4

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply (0.20)(53), you get 10.6, now that's the price that is discounted, so subtract that from the total, to get $42.4. If you want to check your answer, do 42.4/53 and you would get 0.80, or 80%. That is what you should get since you have a 20% discount from 100% of a product.
