X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar 
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25

multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1

2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)

Subtract #2 from #1

0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05

Answer:

D) 2/3 x - 8

E) -4x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∈ R | -∞ < y < ∞ just means that the range for y is all real numbers in a function. For y to be all real numbers, the function, when graphed, has to have no top or bottom limit. The only graphs without top or bottom limits are D and E.

A has a bottom limit

B has a bottom limit

C has a top limit

What is the 52nd term of the sequence below?
VladimirAG [237]
Because the difference between any term and the previous term is a constant, this is an arithmetic sequence because of that constant which is referred to as the common difference, d.  Which in this case is -35--38=-32--35=3

Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number.

In this case a=-38 and d=3 so

a(n)=-38+3(n-1)  which we can simplify to

a(n)=-38+3n-3

a(n)=3n-41, so the 52nd term is:

a(52)=3(52)-41

a(52)=156-41

a(52)=115
