In order to have a function we can't repeat any value in the x, therefore in order to have a function represented in the table the question mark must be 2
What's the equation with x? I can't solve it without knowing where to find x....
Let x = sue
and then let 3x-84 = marcia
therefore
(x)+(3x-84)=132
4x-84=132
4x=216
x=54
however just solving for x doesnt completely solve. it only shows sues money because x = sue
for marcia
3x-84
3(54)-84
162-84
78
therefore Marcia has 78$.
Answer:
Either
(approximately
) or
(approximately
.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
denote the first term of this geometric series, and let
denote the common ratio of this geometric series.
The first five terms of this series would be:
First equation:
.
Second equation:
.
Rewrite and simplify the first equation.
.
Therefore, the first equation becomes:
..
Similarly, rewrite and simplify the second equation:
.
Therefore, the second equation becomes:
.
Take the quotient between these two equations:
.
Simplify and solve for
:

Answer:
The team has 92 wins and 38 losses.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a season 130 games are played by a baseball team.
Let us assume that the team wins x games and losses y games.
Therefore, we can write, x + y=130....... (1)
It is given that if the team won sixteen more games twice as many games as it lost.
So, we can conclude that x =2y+16 ......(2)
Hence, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, (2y+16) + y =130
⇒ 3y = 114
⇒ y =38
And from equation (2), x = 2×38 + 16 = 92
Therefore, the team has 92 wins and 38 losses. (Answer)
