a(1) = -2< -------the 1st term is -2

recursive formula: a(n) = a(n-1) + 7) < --- adding 7 to the previous term

a(2) = a(1) + 7 = (-2) + 7 = 5

a(3) = a(2) + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12

a(4) = a(3) + 7 = 12 + 7 = 19

You go to an arcade and purchase a card with game credits. After playing 5 games you have 33 credits left. You play 4 more games

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$y=-3x+48$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use slope-intercept form of equation to write our equation. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ , where m= Slope of the line, b= y-intercept.

To write the equation that represents the number of credits y on the cards after x games, we will find slope of our line.

We have been given that after playing 5 games we have 33 credits left. We play 4 more games and we have 21 credits left. So our points will be (5,33) and (9,21).

Let us substitute coordinates of our both given points in slope formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ,

$m=\frac{21-33}{9-5}$

$m=\frac{-12}{4}=-3$

Now let us substitute m=-3 and coordinates of point (5,33) in slope intercept form of equation to find y-intercept.

$33=-3\cdot 5+b$

$33=-15+b$

$33+15=b$

$48=b$

Upon substituting m=-3 and b=48 in slope-intercept form of an equation we will get,

$y=-3x+48$

Therefore, our desired equation will be $y=-3x+48$ .

Jim spent $46.16 on some mulch and one shovel. Each bag of mulch costs $3.49 and the shovel cost $14.75. How many bags of mulch

mezya [45]

To find the amount he spent on bags of mulch you must take the cost of the shovel away from the total, giving the equation:
46.16-14.75=3.49x
To covert this to whole numbers, multiply by 100
4616-1475=349x
3141=349x
x=9

Answer:

I believe the answer would be 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

the shadow of the tall flag is three times the small flag, so the height of the flag should also be three times the height. which is 21
