Answer:

k - 2e + 9 = 0

k - e - 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Elena is currently e years old and Katie is k years old. Now, nine years ago, Katie was twice as old as Elena was.

So, k - 9 = 2(e - 9)

⇒ k - 2e + 9 = 0 .............. (1)

And, in four years, Elena will be as old as Katie is now.

So, k = e + 4

⇒ k - e - 4 = 0 ............... (2)

Therefore, the equations (1) and (2) matches the conditions. (Answer)

There are three consecutive even integers. If twice the first integer added to the second is 268,244, find all three integers.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

89414,89416,89418

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n bet the positive integer and then 2n is an even integer because multiplying n with 2 makes it an even integer.

Now, 2n+2, 2n+4 are the next integers.

Therefore, three consecutive integers are: 2n, 2n+2, 2n+4.

It is given that twice the first integer added to the second is 268,244 that means:

$2(2n)+(2n+2)=268244$

$4n+2n+2=268244$

$6n=268242$

$n=44707$

Therefore, three consecutive integers are:

2n=89414, 2n+2=89416, 2n+4=89418

Find the fifth term in the sequence that is defined as follows:

hram777 [196]

Answer : The fifth term in the sequence is -2.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that the expression to calculate the $n^{th}$ term.

The expression is as follows:

$a_n=2(-1)^n$

where,

n is the number of term

Given:

n = 5

Now putting the value of n in the above expression, we get:

$a_n=2(-1)^n$

$a_5=2(-1)^5$

$a_5=2\times (-1)$

$a_5=-2$

Therefore, the fifth term in the sequence is -2.
