Answer:

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the rate at which she reads

The total number of pages she reads at any given time interval can be expressed as;

T=P×m

where;

T=Total number of pages she reads

P=the rate at which she reads in number of pages per minute

m=total number of minutes she takes reading a book

In our case;

T=10 pages

P=p

m=35 minutes

replacing;

10=p×35

p=10/35

p=(10/35)

The rate at which she reads=(10/35) pages per minute

Step 2: Calculate the time she spent reading the book yesterday

Yesterdays variables are as follows;

T=14 pages

p=(10/35) pages per minute

m=unknown

replacing;

14=(10/35)×m

m=14×(35/10)

m=49

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

Rearrange the following equation to solve for x. y=1/2x+10
maxonik [38]
In order to solve this we must first,


Subtract both sides of the equation by 10,
y-10=1/2x

Now we have to multiply both sides by 2 so that only x is left.

2y-20=x


Therefore, x=2y-20

What are the first five terms of the sequence generated by the formula below?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The correct option is:

2, 4, 12, 48, 240

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine the first 5 terms of the sequence by using following formula:

a_n=2n!

To Calculate the first 5 terms.

Put n = 1

a₁ = 2 (1)!

a₁ = 2(1)

a₁ = 2

Put n = 2

a₂ = 2 (2)!

a₂ = 2 (2·1) = 2(2)

a₂ = 4

Put n = 3

a₃ = 2(3)!

a₃ = 2(3·2·1)

a₃ = 2(6)

a₃ = 12

Put n = 4

a₄ = 2(4)!

a₄ = 2(4·3·2·1)

a₄ = 2(24)

a₄ = 48

Put n =5

a₅ = 2(5)!

a₅ = 2(5·4·3·2·1)

a₅ = 2(120)

a₅ = 240

Given the following graph of a system of inequalities, the point (3, 2) _____________.
uysha [10]
That point does not satisfy either inequality. 

You can tell it does not satisfy the first portion, due to it being under the shaded line. Secondly, the dotted line goes through it, but that fact that it is dotted makes it not included.
