Answer:

The value of x + y is   -16.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each term is calculated by multiplying the previous one times 5 and then subtracting 20 from that result, then we can use that information to relate the first term (x) and the second one (0).

Following the info above, the following equation applies:

0 = 5 x - 20

then we solve for x:

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

Now we do the same study relating the second term (0) and the third one (y):

y = 5 (0) - 20

y = -20

Now that we have the value for both unknowns, we can estimate what they ask you: The value of x + y:

x + y = 4 + (-20) = 4 - 20 = -16

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 100 lbs on Earth is 16.6 lbs on the moon.

a. The independent variable is weight. The gravity of the Moon and the gravity of the Earth are constant. Weight can change, but gravity is a constant.

b. An equation that relates the weight of someone on the Moon who travels to the Earth:

100 / 16.6 = 6.02. Take the Moon weight and multiply by 6.02:

Moon Weight * 6.02 = Earth Weight.

Proof:

16.6 * 6.024 = 99.99 - approximately 100 lbs Earth weight.

c. A 185 lb astronaut on Earth would weigh:

16.6 / 100 = .166. Take the Earth weight and multiply by .166:

185 * .166 = 30 lbs on the Moon.

d. A person who weighs 50 lbs on the Moon:

50 * 6.024 = 301.2 lbs on Earth.

Hope this helps! Have a good day and year! :)

2^0 = 1

2^-¹

= 1/2¹

= 1/2

2^-2

= 1/2²

= 1/2*2

= 1/4

To complete the table

2² 2¹ 2^0 2^-1 2^-2
