Answer:
There are 616 total students
Step-by-step explanation:
boys : girls: total
5 3 5+3 = 8
There are 385 boys
385/5 = 77
Multiply each term by 77
boys : girls: total
5*77 3*77 8*77
385 539 616
There are 616 total students
Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = $1,400
r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125
n = 4 years
The 4th term(year), T4 is
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)
T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3
T4 = $1453.16
Use subsiution]
y=-3x+5
subsitute -3x+5 for y in second equation
5x-4(-3x+5)=-3
distribute
5x+12x-20=-3
add like terms
17x-20=-3
add 20 to both sides
17x=17
divide both sides by 17
x=1
now subsitute 1 for x
y=-3x+5
y=-3(1)+5
y=-3+5
y=2
x=1
y=2
