Some number y has 7 subtracted off to get 15. We have y-7 = 15. To isolate y, we have to undo the "subtract 7" operation that happens to y. We have to add 7 to both sides.

y-7 = 15

y-7+7 = 15+7

y = 22 is the answer

Visualize the following procedure: Tear in half a square piece of paper with an area of one square unit. Then tear it in half ag

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$Area = \frac{1}{16}$ square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict the area of the piece of paper after 5 tears we can use a geometric sequence.

Each time a piece is torn, half of the previous area is lost. If the area of the first piece is 1 square unit then:

$a_1 = 1\\\\r = \frac{1}{2}\\\\a_2 = 1 *\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2}\\\\a_n = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}\\\\a_5 = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{5-1}$

$a_5 = \frac{1}{16}$ square units
