Answer:

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may be solved by a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the number of small boxes used

y is the number of large boxes used

There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped

This means that y = 2x

Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.

This means that 45x + 80y =1435

So we have to solve the following system:

y=2x

45x + 80y =1435

45x + 80 (2x) = 1435

205x = 1435

x= 1435/205

x=7

y=2x= 2(7) = 14

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Look at the sequence in the table. Which recursive formula represents the sequence shown? <br><br>A
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

B) a_n=2a_{n-1}+1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this recursive formula, we need to look at the relationship between each term in the sequence.

When looking at n=1 and n=2, we can see that we have 5 and 11.

We have to find a pattern between each term in the sequence. If we double 5, which is the previous term, and add 1, we get 11.

Lets see if this works for the next term, 23

First, lets double 11 = 22

Now add 22+1=23. We got the right term. Lets test it again

23*2=46

46+1=47

And now the last term

47*2=94

96+1=95

As you can see doubling the previous term and adding 1 works for all of these terms.

when written as a recursive formula, it would be a_n=2a_{n-1}+1, which is B
