Answer:

9 boys and 12 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply the denominators by 3, you get "out of" 21. All you need to do after that is multiply the top by 3 as well and it tells you there are 9 boys and 12 girls.

After I looked up some quick information, your car loses 15-25% each year. After 5 years, it goes to only 37%. So, a car that would cost 20000 would be valued at around 7k after 5 years. So, in the first 5 years, it lost 14k. Also, a 1999 Corolla goes for 2.5k, and that's nearly 20 years. So, I'm just going to go with, based off these numbers, probably 25-30 years...if it still works by then.
Also, if you get in a heavy accident the next day, making the car unusable, you rip off your friend. The first scenario only applies if the engine works well and no accidents were on the vehicle either.

Three Nissans, two Fords, and four Chevrolets can be rented for $106 per day. At the same rates two Nissans, four Fords, and thr

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The rental rate for the Fords is of $12 per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of a Nissan.

y is the cost of a Ford.

z is the cost of a Chevrolet.

Three Nissans, two Fords, and four Chevrolets can be rented for $106 per day.

This means that:

$3x + 2y + 4z = 106$

Two Nissans, four Fords, and three Chevrolets cost $107 per day

This means that:

$2x + 4y + 3z = 107$

Four Nissans, three Fords, and two Chevrolets cost $102 per day.

This means that:

$4x + 3y + 2z = 102$

From the first equation:

$4z = 106 - 3x - 2y$

$2z = 53 - 1.5x - y$

$z = 26.5 - 0.75x - 0.5y$

Replacing into the third equation:

$4x + 3y + 53 - 1.5x - y = 102$

$2.5x + 2y = 49$

From the second equation:

$2x + 4y + 3z = 107$

$2x = 107 - 4y - 3z$

$x = 53.5 - 2y - 1.5z$

$x = 53.5 - 2y - 1.5(26.5 - 0.75x - 0.5y)$

$x - 1.125x = 53.5 - 2y - 39.75 + 0.75y$

$-0.125x = 13.75 - 1.25y$

$0.125x = 1.25y - 13.75$

$x = \frac{1.25y - 13.75}{0.125}$

$x = 10y - 110$

Find the rental rate for the Fords.

We have to find y, so:

$2.5x + 2y = 49$

$2.5(10y - 110) + 2y = 49$

$25y - 275 + 2y = 49$

$27y = 324$

$y = \frac{324}{27}$

$y = 12$

The rental rate for the Fords is of $12 per day.

What is the 8th term of this geometric sequence 6,48,384,3072

ELEN [110]

Common ratio can be found by dividing the 2nd term by the first
r = 48/6
r = 8

an = a1 * r^(n-1)
n = term to find = 8
a1 = first number = 6
r = common ratio = 8
now we sub
a(8) = 6 * 8^(8-1)
a(8) = 6 * 8^7
a(8) = 6 * 2097152
a(8) = 12582912 <==
