Five children know a secret. Every day, the number of children who know the secret doubles. There are 1,280 children in the scho
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the secret spread at a geometric rate we will use the geometric progression formulae

ar^n-1

First term = a= 5

common ratio is 2

For the nth term

5*2^n-1 = 1280 divide both sides of the equation with 5

2^n-1 = 256

2^n-1= 2^8

n-1 =8

n = 8+1

n=9

All the children will know the secret in 9 days

Alternatively

2nd day= 5*2^2-1

5*2^1=

5*2= 10

3rd day = 20

4th day= 40

5th day= 80

6th day = 160

7th day = 320

8th day =640

9th day =1280 children

2x + 9 = 35

We subtract 9 in both sides:
2x + 9 - 9 = 35 - 9
2x = 26
