Answer:

210 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Arthur ⇒ a = 3 k
  • Yusuf ⇒  y = 5k
  • Bill ⇒      b = 6k

<u>Yusuf gave </u><u>x</u><u> stamps to Arthur, then:</u>

  • y = 5k -x
  • a = 3k + x

<u>Bill gave Arthur 42 stamps more than Yusuf gave to Arthur, then:</u>

  • b = 6k - (x+42)
  • a = 3k + x + x + 42

<u>Now all 3 have same amount of stamps:</u>

  • 5k -x = 6k - x - 42 = 3k + 2x + 42

<u>From the first part of the equation we get:</u>

  • 6k - 5k = 42 + x - x
  • k = 42

<u>How many stamps did Yusuf have at first?</u>

  • y = 5k
  • y =5*42
  • y = 210 stamps

Yusuf had 210 stamps at first

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  6.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of distances is a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio (1 +10%) = 1.10. The sum of 7 terms of the sequence is ...

  S7 = a1·(r^7 -1)/(r -1)

  56.923 = a1·(1.1^7 -1)/(1.1 -1)

  5.6923 = a1·0.9487171

Dividing by the coefficient of a1 gives its value:

  5.6923/0.9487171 ≈ 5.999997 ≈ 6.000

The hiker traveled 6.0 miles on the first day.
