Answer:
One brother says of his younger brother: “Two years ago, I was three times as old as my brother was. In three years’ time, I will be twice as old as my brother.” How old are they each now?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years
Then, my age was 3x
Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years
And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years
But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.
So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)
or, x= 5 years
So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years
And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years
Answer:
lions=105 elephants=252
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is a total of 375 lions and elephants. We also know the ratio of those. With these two we can build an equation that gives us the exact number of each of the two species.
We can multiply the ratio by x:
(5/12)*(x/x)
now we have:
5x/12x
we input these new data into the total number of both animals:
5x+12x=357
17x=357
x=357/17
x=21
remember x is not the number of any of the animals
number of lions is 5x=5*21=105
number of elephants is 12x=12*21=252
We need the first term. Replace n with 1 and simplify
a_n = (5/6)*(n+(1/3))
a_1 = (5/6)*(1+(1/3))
a_1 = (5/6)*( (3/3) + (1/3) )
a_1 = (5/6)*( 4/3 )
a_1 = (5*4)/(6*3)
a_1 = 20/18
a_1 = 10/9
Now we need the 58th term.
Repeat the steps done above, but now use n = 58
a_n = (5/6)*(n+(1/3))
a_58 = (5/6)*(58+(1/3))
a_58 = (5/6)*( (174/3) + (1/3) )
a_58 = (5/6)*( 175/3 )
a_58 = (5*175)/(6*3)
a_58 = 875/18
Next, add up the first and last terms of the sequence we want. So add up a_1 and a_58
a_1 + a_58 = (10/9) + (875/18)
a_1 + a_58 = (20/18) + (875/18)
a_1 + a_58 = (20+875)/18
a_1 + a_58 = 895/18
Multiply this result by n/2 where n = 58
n/2 = 58/2 = 29
(n/2)*(a_1+a_58) = 29*(895/18)
(n/2)*(a_1+a_58) = 25955/18
The answer I'm getting is 25955/18
Because this answer is not listed, I'm thinking there must be a typo somewhere. Please update the problem.
To find the answer, you divide 5.50 by 5 to get the price of one slice of pizza. We get that one slice is $1.10. 2 slices would be $2.20. 10 slices would be $11. Half a slice would be $0.55. Hope this helps!
