Answer:

<em>On day the he covers </em>128.4 ft²

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

Lets first figure out how much he has done so far

To figure out how much he does we can use a proportion

Set up a proportion for first day

2/7 = x/299.6

Solve the proportion

2×299.6÷7 = 599.2/7 = x

x = 85.6

<em>He covered 85.6 sq/ft on day 1</em>

Find day two

85.6 * 2 = 171.2

Find how much is left to do on day 3

299.6-171.2 = 128.4 ft²

What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below? 15 , 7 , − 1 , − 9 , − 17 , . . .
Doss [256]

You can see that you're constantly subtracting 8 to get the next number. So, we have

a_1 = 15

a_2 = a_1-8

a_3 = a_2-8 = (a_1-8)-8=a_1-2\cdot 8

a_4=a_1-3\cdot 8

a_5=a_1-4\cdot 8

So, as you can see, to get the n-th term we must subtract (n-1) times 8 from the original number.

Which expressions represent rational numbers? Check all that apply.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

they're all rational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

rational numbers are positive, negative, or zero integers. they can be decimals as well.

first expression = 2.449.... + 3 = 5.449 (yes, it is rational)

second expression = 8 + 0.54545454... = 8.545454... (yes, it is rational)

third expression = 6 + 4.582575... = 10.4582575... (yes, it is rational)

fourth expression = 4 + 13 = 17 (yes, it is rational)

fifth expression = 17.43... + 7 = 24.43.... (yes, it is rational)

sixth expression = 6.6332... + 5 = 11.6332 (yes, it is rational)

Solving by elimination <br> 5x+2y= -3<br> 3x+3y=9<br> please help me solve x and y
-Dominant- [34]
1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
                                             ⇒ -9x=27
     2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18

2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3 

3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6

Answer: (-3,6)

Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.

Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>
