$Sum_{7} = 10 * \frac{1- (-2^{7}) }{1 - (-2)} = 10* \frac{1+128}{1+2} = 10* \frac{129}{3} = 10 * 43 = 430$

Answer:

<u>Proportional relationship formula:</u>

y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality

Use one of the ordered pairs to calculate the value of k

<h3>Company A</h3>

Point (2, 20)

20 = k*2
h = 20/2
k = 10

The equation: y = 10h

<h3>Company B</h3>

Point (3, 20)

20 = k*3
k = 20/3
The equation: y = 20/3h

Company A has greater unit rate as 10 > 20/3

The sum of Joy's age and her brother's age is 24. Joy's brother's age is 3 years older than twice joy's age. What is the differe

enyata [817]

Let Joy be x years old

<span>Joy's brother's age is 3 years older than twice joy's age.
</span>Joy's Brother = 2x + 3

<span>The sum of Joy's age and her brother's age is 24.
x + 2x + 3 = 24
3x + 3 = 24
3x = 24 - 3
3x = 21
x = 21 </span>÷ 3
x = 7

Joy:
x = 7

Brother:
2x + 3 = 2(7) + 3 = 17

Difference in their age = 17 - 7 = 10 years

They are 10 years apart.

Z=(x-u)/q slove for x

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

zq+u =x

Step-by-step explanation:

z=(x-u)/q

Multiply each side by q

zq = (x-u)/q *q

zq = x-u

Add u to each side

zq+u = x-u+u

zq+u =x
