Answer: the number can be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

we want that

n + n - 1 + n-2 + .... + 2 + 1 = X

X must be a perfect square.

And the last number, 1, must be said by player 1, so n must be an odd number.

n + (n - 1) + (n -2) + ... + (n - n + 1) = n*n - (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + n)

and we know that:

(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + n) = n*(n + 1)/2

So we have:

x = n*n - n*(n + 1)/2 = n*n - n*n/2 - n/2 = n*n/2 - n/2 = n*(n + 1)/2

Now we want to find X such that is a perfect square and n must be an odd integer.

You can start giving different values for n until you reach a value of X that is a perfect square, for example, if you take n = 9, we have X = 36.

and 36 = 6*6

So if player 9, he will win always.

Which of the following best describes the solution to the system of equations below?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

Solve for y from each equation:

\left \{ {{5y=-4x+7} \atop {10y=-8x+14}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-8}{10}x+\frac{14}{10}}} \right.\\\\\left \{ {{y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}} \atop {y=\frac{-4}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}}} \right.

As you can see the slope and the y-intercept of each equation are equal, this means that both are the exact same line. Therefore, you can conclude that the system has infinitely many solutions.

alisha [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

{:}\leadsto\sf 59-(2c+3)=4 (c+7)+c

{:}\leadsto\sf 59-2c-3=4c+28+c

{:}\leadsto\sf 56-2c=5c+28

{:}\leadsto\sf 5c+28=56-2c

{:}\leadsto\sf 5c+2c=56-28
