Answer:

-1280

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you could do this. You could just do the question until you come to the end of f(4). That is likely the simplest way to do it.

f(1) = 160

f(2) = - 2 * f(1)

f(2) = -2*160

f(2) = -320

f(3) = -2 * f(2)

f(3) = -2 * - 320

f(3) = 640

f(4) = - 2 * f(3)

f(4) = - 2 * 640

f(4) = - 1280

I don't know that you could do this explicitly with any real confidence.

f(1)=160\\f(n+1)=-2f(n)\\\\f(2)=-2\cdot 160=-320\\f(3)=-2\cdot(-320)=640\\f(4)=-2\cdot 640=-1280

What is the y-coordinate for the solution of the system of equations below? 7y+5x=19 3y+5x=7
RoseWind [281]
I would go about solving this by elimination because the x variables are already the same so all you would have to do is change one equation to the opposite signs and add them, so it would look like:

7y + 5x = 19
+ -3y - 5x = -7
-------------------
4y=12
y=3

Beatrix was able to eat 21 raisins. Now, this 21 raisins is said to be 30% of the number of raisins inside the box.  T
he question is, how many raisins, will there be in total inside the box?
Equation and solutions: 
=> 30% = 30% / 100% = .31 
=> .31x = 21
=> .31x / .31 = 21 / .31
=> x = 67.8 total number of raisins inside the box, or let's convert it to whole number
=> 67.8 = 68 count <span>
