I use the substitution method, but you can also use elimination and matrix
1. Solve for y in 3x+y=14
y=14-3x
2. Substitute y=14-3x into x+2y=3
-5x+28=3
3. Solve for x in -5x+28=3
x=5
4. Substitute x=5 into y=14-3x
y=-1
5. Therefore,
x=5
y=-1
Have a nice day :D
The value of the 5th term of the geometric sequence is of 160.
<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

In which
is the first term.
We already have the 4th term and the common ratio, hence the 5th term is given by:
80 x 2 = 160.
The value of the 5th term of the geometric sequence is of 160.

Answer:
30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Interesting question.
- 1 cubit = 18 inches
- 20 cubits = x
- 1/20 = 18/x Cross multiply
- x = 20 * 18
- x = 360 inches.
The maximum height is 360 inches.
- 1 foot = 12 inches
- x feet = 360 inches Cross multiply
- 12x = 360 * 1
- 12x/12 = 360/12
- x = 30
The maximum height reached was 30 feet.
5/20 can also be represented as 25/100 or 25%. The can be done by multiplying the top and bottom both by 5 and then dividing our numerator (25) by our denominator(100) to get the %.
