Let the number of red and green peppers be x and y respectively.

x = y + 20
\frac{x}{y}  =  \frac{7}{2}  \\ x =  \frac{7}{2} y
\frac{7}{2}y = y + 20 \\  \frac{5}{2} y  = 20 \\ y = 8
x =  \frac{7}{2} y \\ x =  \frac{7}{2} (8) \\ x = 28

Answer: green = 8, red = 28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

green   :   red

  2x           7x

   y           y + 20

⇒\left \{ {{2x=y} \atop {7x=y+20}} \right.

Since y = 2x, I can substitute "y" with "2x" in the second equation:

7x = 2x + 20

<u>-2x </u>  <u>-2x         </u>

5x  =        20

<u> ÷5  </u>   <u>       ÷5  </u>

   x  =         4


green: 2x   = 2(4)   = 8

red: 7x   = 7(4)   = 28

Consider a sequence defined by the recursive rule f(1) = 15; f(n)=f(n - 1) - 6 for n 2. Choose True or
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The second term of the sequence is 8  False ⇒ B

The third term of the sequence is 3  True ⇒ A

The fourth term of the sequence is -3  True ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the recursive rule is:

f(1) = first term; f(n) = f(n - 1) + d, where

  • f(1) is the first term
  • f(n) is the nth term
  • f(n - 1) is the term before the nth term
  • d is the common difference

∵ f(1) = 15, f(n) = f(n - 1) - 6 for n ≥ 2

∴ The first term = 15

∴ d = -6

let us find the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th terms

∵ n = 2

∴ f(2) = f(1) - 6

∵ f(1) = 15

∴ f(2) = 15 - 6 = 9

∴ The second term is 9

∴ The second term of the sequence is 8  False

∵ n = 3

∴ f(3) = f(2) - 6

∵ f(2) = 9

∴ f(3) = 9 - 6 = 3

∴ The third term is 3

∴ The third term of the sequence is 3 True

∵ n = 4

∴ f(4) = f(3) - 6

∵ f(3) = 3

∴ f(4) = 3 - 6 = -3

∴ The fourth term is -3

∴ The fourth term of the sequence is -3 True

Answer:

"Acceleration" means any change in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or turning.  So . . .

-- The distance traveled in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The displacement covered in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The speed of the object may increase or decrease.

-- The velocity of the object (speed/direction) will change.

Hey guys pls help <br> help me Find the Area of the Rhombus
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

210 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rhombus is d₁ * d₂ * 0.5. In other words, the area is its diagonals multiplied together and divided by 2.

Substitute the measures of the diagonal given.

35 * 12 * 0.5 = 210

The area is 210 m²

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

Why is (D₁ + D₂)/2 incorrect?

This is a really helpful link:
