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

Round 4,343 to the nearest thousand.
Ad libitum [116K]
4000. You need to round it to the nearest thousand, which would be the 4 at the start if you break it down into its units. Where from right to left, you have, 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s. Meaning you need to keep the first digit (unless the hundreds are 500+) and everything after should just be the thousands.

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 11, -55, 275,...11,−55,275,...
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

r = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

common ratio (r) is found be dividing one term by its preceding term:

r = 275 ÷ -55 = -5

or, r = -55 ÷ 11 = -5

Therefore, r = -5

Write the first four terms of the sequence defined by An=20-30(n-1)
monitta

The first four terms of sequence is 20, -10, -40, -70

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the first four terms of sequence

<em><u>Given recursive formula is:</u></em>

a_n = 20 - 30(n-1)

<em><u>To find the first term, substitute n = 1</u></em>

a_1 = 20-30(1-1)\\\\a_1 = 20-30(0)\\\\a_1 = 20

Thus the first term of sequence is 20

<em><u>To find the second term, substitute n = 2</u></em>

a_2 = 20-30(2-1)\\\\a_2 = 20-30(1)\\\\a_2 = 20-30\\\\a_2 = -10

Thus the second term of sequence is -10

<em><u>To find the third term, substitute n = 3</u></em>

a_3 = 20-30(3-1)\\\\a_3 = 20-30(2)\\\\a_3 = 20-60\\\\a_3 = -40

Thus the third term of sequence is -40

<em><u>To find the fourth term, substitute n = 4</u></em>

a_4 = 20-30(4-1)\\\\a_4 = 20-30(3)\\\\a_4 = 20-90\\\\a_4 = -70

Thus the first four terms of sequence is 20, -10, -40, -70

The mean of four numbers is 85. The four numbers are 86, 83, 81, and .
kati45 [8]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Since, to find the average of a set of numbers, you need to add them all together and divide by the amount of numbers:

\dfrac{86+83+81+x}{4}=85

b)

Multiply both sides by 4:

86+83+81+x=340\\x=90

Hope this helps!
