Answer:
- Plan: separate the variable term from the constant term; divide by the coefficient of the variable.
- Steps: add 4 to both sides; collect terms; divide both sides by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to look a the equation to see where the variable is in relation to the equal sign, and whether there are any constants on that same side of the equal sign.
Here, the variable terms are on the left, and there is a constant there, as well. The plan for solving the equation is to eliminate the constant that is on the same side of the equation as the variable, then divide by the coefficient of the variable. To find that coefficient, we need to collect terms. In summary, the plan is to ...
- add 4 to both sides of the equation
- collect terms
- divide by the coefficient of the variable (3)
Executing that plan, the steps are ...
-2x -4 +5x +4 = 8 +4 . . . . add 4
3x = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
x = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
There are infinitely many solutions.
Algebraically, we can eliminate 
and try to solve for 
:
Then
which is the equation of an ellipse.
This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term. So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number
In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so
a(n)=2^(n-1) so on the sixth week he will run:
a(6)=2^5=32
He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.
Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r) where the variables have the same values so
s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)
s(n)=2^n-1 so
s(6)=2^6-1
s(6)=64-1
s(6)=63 blocks
So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.
Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The cost of an individual ticket is $25
The cost of a couple's ticket is $40
The total sale is $2500
total ticket sold is 70
Suppose there are x individuals and y couples
So, they sold 20 tickets of the individual.
