Answer:
Thanks for the points
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a and b = the numbers we must find.
a + 2b = 5.....Equation A
2a + b = 13.......Equation B
We have a system of equations in two variables.
I will solve A for little a.
a + 2b = 5
a = 5 - 2b
Now I will plug 5 - 2b for a in B.
2(5 - 2b) + b = 13
10 - 4b + b = 13
-3b = 3
b = -1
To find a, replace b with -1 in EITHER A or B.
I will use Equation A.
a + 2b = 5
a + 2(-1) = 5
a - 2 = 5
a = 7
The two numbers are -1 and 7.
Understand?
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term
10/5 = 2
We multiply the last term given by the common ratio to get the next term
20* 2= 40
The answer you want is 2
20 hundreds = 2000 or 2 thousands
