Let the cost of one pound of candy be x and one pound of mint be y.
3x+2y=10.8 a
x+3y = 5.35 b
B*3 = 3x+9y = 16.05 b
b-a = 7y = 16.05-10.8= 5.25
y = 5.25/7 = 0.75
The cost per pound of mints is $0.75
The predicted time remaining has decreased by 30 years, so the second one would be the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 = 2/9 x
2/9x = -6
x = (-6)×9/2
= -27
Answer:
341
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people who know the art of quilting in each successive generation is
1, 4, 16, …
These numbers represent a geometric sequence where each term has the form
aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹
In your sequence, a₁ = 1 and r = 4.
Then, the formula for your sequence is
aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹
Sum over five generations
The formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is
Sum = a₁[(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)]
Sum = 1[(1 - 4⁵)/(1 - 4)
= (1 - 1024)/(-3)
= -1023/-3
= 341
If the process continues for five generations, 341 people will know the art of quilting.
