Answer:
y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:
3x+5=8x+3
5=5x+3
2=5x
2/5=x
0.4=x
Now to solve y:
y=8(2/5)+3
y=16/5+3
y=3.2+3
y=6.2
Check answers:
6.2=3(0.4)+5
6.2=1.2+5
6.2=6.2
6.2=8(0.4)+3
6.2=3.2+3
6.2=6.2
Answers work, so y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2) as an ordered pair
Divide total acres by total days:
18 acres / 6 days = 3 acres per day.
The rate is 3 acres per day.
3x + 6 = -1 - 3 + 4x
Combine like terms on the right side.
3x + 6 = -4 + 4x
Add 4 to both sides.
3x + 10 = 4x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
10 = x
The equation has one solution (10).
Answer: The first machine would cost $420
and the second machine would cost $432
you should buy the first machine
Step-by-step explanation:If you get a 30% discount, then you are paying 70% of the selling price.
Machine 1: 600(.70) = 420
Machine 2: A 10% discount means you pay 90%
600(.90) = 540 But now you get a 20% discount on that amount, which means you would pay 80%
So, 540(.80) = 432
You can see how the difference between two consecutive terms is constantly increasing:
So, for the next terms we'll have to add +9, +11, +13 and so on.
Also, note that 
is obtained by adding the 2nd odd number to 
, 
is obtained by adding the 3rd odd number to , and so on.
So, the recursive formula is
For the explicit formula, recall that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared. Taking into account the fact that we're not starting from 1, we have
