Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LEt the number be x.

2x - 5 = 3

2x = 3 + 5 = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

To solve the equation: add 5 to both sides and then multiply by 1/2.

Cory is building an enclosure with recycled cardboard for her collection of model cars. Her design is a shown below.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

B.25

Explanation:

The figures are similar.  This means that corresponding sides have the same ratio.

This helps us set up a proportion.

We know that ML corresponds with DC, which gives us the ratio

8/40

EF will correspond with NH; this gives us the ratio

5/x

The proportion is then

8/40 = 5/x

Cross multiplying, we have

8(x) = 40(5)

8x = 200

Divide both sides by 8:

8x/8 = 200/8

x = 25

All of the members of our spray-painting team paint at the same speed. If 20 team members can paint a 4800 square foot wall in 3
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

It takes 70 minutes for 9 team members (painting 60 sq ft per minute) to paint a 4200 sq ft wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

4800 ÷ 20 = 240 sq ft per team member in 36 minutes

240 ÷ 36 = 6.67 sq ft per team member in 1 minute

6.67 × 9 = 60 sq ft per 9 team members in 1 minute

4200 ÷ 60 = 70 minutes (or 1 hour and 10 minutes)

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C. a_n=(9)(\frac{2}{3})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Iterative geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1x^{n-1}

Recursive geometric sequence:

a_n=xa_{n-1}

The equations are very similar and you only really need to rearrange it. The factor (2/3) and the first term (9) are given, so you can write the iterative equation:

a_n=(9)(\frac{2}{3})^{n-1}

And so the answer is C.
