Answer: the 7th person will get 3.125 pieces of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. This means that number of pieces of gum that each student gets is reducing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 200

r = 0.5

n = 7

The 7th term, T7 is

T7 = 200 × 0.5^(7 - 1)

T7 = 200 × 0.5^6

T7 = 3.125

2x+3y=19 // 6x+2y=22​
zvonat [6]

Answer:

(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 19 → (1)

6x + 2y = 22 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 6x - 9y = - 57 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 7y = - 35

- 7y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 3(5) = 19

2x + 15 = 19 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 5 )
