Answer:

-4 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use variables.

Let x = 5 + y

and x + y = -13

Now we can solve this problem.

x + y = -13

(5 + y) + y = -13

5 + 2y = -13

2y = -13 - 5

2y = -18

y = -9

x = 5 + -9

x = -4

The scale factor of a room for a scale drawing is 2.3. The actual length of a wall in the room is 46 feet and the actual width o

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

There's two ways to solve this.

Step-by-step explanation:

First way:

Let's divide the width and length by 2.3.

46÷2.3=20

69÷2.3=30

20×30

600 ft²

Second Way:

Let's find the area of the actual room.

46×69

3,174 ft²

Let's find the scale drawing squared.

2.3²=5.29

3,174÷5.29

600 ft²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = amount of apple

let g = amount of grapefruit

14a+25g=340

a+g=2a-2

-a -a

g=a-2

plug this into your first equation

14a+25(a-2)=340

14a+25a-50=340

+50 +50

39a=390

a=10

you have 10 apples

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{a_n=1\cdot(-2)^{n-1}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

We have the geometric sequence: 1, -2, 4, -8, ...

Find the common ratio:

$r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}$

$a_1=1,\ a_2=-2$

substitute:

$r=\dfrac{-2}{1}=-2$

Substitute

$a_1=1;\ r=-1$

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

$a_n=1\cdot(-2)^{n-1}$
