You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5

Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75

So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!

Given that MTW = CAD, which segments are corresponding parts of the congruent triangles?

VikaD [51]

Answer: MW = CD

Explanation: It would be this way because if you wrote the triangles out, MW would be in the same place as CD, making them corresponding.

a cell phone company plans to market a new smartphone. they have already sold 612 units durning the first week of the campaign.

Vadim26 [7]

The first term is 612.

The common ratio is 1.08 and

The recursive rule is $a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

the question to the problem is to write the values of the first term, common ratio, and expression for the recursive rule.

<u>The first term :</u>

In geometric sequence, the first term is given as $a_{1}$ .

⇒ $a_{1} = 612$

Now, the geometric sequence follows as 612, 661, ........

<u>The common ratio (r) :</u>

It is the ratio between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.

Therefore, to determine the common ratio, you just divide the number from the number preceding it in the sequence.

⇒ r = 661 divided by 612

⇒ r = 1.08

<u>To find the recursive rule :</u>

A geometric series is of the form a,ar,ar2,ar3,ar4,ar5........

Here, first term $a_{1} = a$ and other terms are obtained by multiplying by r.

Observe that each term is r times the previous term.
Hence to get nth term we multiply (n−1)th term by r .

The recursive rule is of the form $a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r$

This is called recursive formula for geometric sequence.

We know that r = 1.08 and $a_{1}$ = 612.

To find the second term $a_{2}$ , use the recursive rule $a_{n} = a^{n-1} \times r$

⇒ $a_{2} = a^{2-1}\times r$

⇒ $a_{2} = a^{1}\times r$

⇒ $a_{2} = 612\times 1.08$

⇒ $a_{2} = 661$
