Sn=A1(1-r^n)/(1-r)
Sum of a finite geometric series formula
We know the sum, number of terms and rate, so you plug those in.
-255=A1(1-(-4)^4))/(1-(-4)
-255=A1(1-256)/5
-255=A1(-255)/5
-1275=A1(-255)
5=A1

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any questions.

Solve using the distributive property: 28 x 9
patriot [66]

Answer:

252

Step-by-step explanation:

9 x 28 = (9 x 20) + (9 x 8)

9 x 20 = 180

9 x 8 = 72

180 + 72 = 252

9 x 28 = 252

sara has two bags of nuts one with 60% peanuts and the other with 28% peanuts. to make a ten pound bag of 45% peanuts how much o
Drupady [299]

SOLUTION - GIVEN = Sara has two bag with 60% & 28% peanut.

                    prove = How much the peanut is used to make 10 pound of 45%

                                 peanut.

TO PROOF -  Assume that

                    let  x be the  value of the peanut  used by sara  from the bag

                  60% peanut bag.

                  let ( 10 - x)  be the value of peanut used by sara from 28% peanut

                  bag.

                as given the bag become  of  the 10 pound which contain

                 45% of peanunt.

                  thus we have

               0.60x + 0.28 ( 10 - x ) = 0.45 (10)        

                0.60x + 0.28 ( 10 -x ) =   4.5

               0.60x  +   2.8 -  0.28 x = 4.5

              0.60x - 0.28x = 4.5 - 2.8

            0.32x  = 1.7

             x =  5.3125   peanut is taken from the 60% bag.

            & 4.6875 peanut from the 28% bag.

I’ve been stuck on this question since beginning of my freshman year! Someone please explain how to do this please??!
dexar [7]

Hi!

There might be different variations into how anyone would approach this problem but this is by far an easy way for me.

In order to solve fractional relationships with a variable, a perfect way to solve them would be to cross multiply and make them equal to each other.

You see the part '3y+12', and when you criss cross over to the other side of the equation, you get three. Multiply that together.

When you see the part '6', when you glide diagonally, you find '4y'. Multiply this together as well. Make them equal to each other.

(<em>This is how you do cross multiplication.)</em>

You should get something like this:

3(3y+12)=6(4y)              Distribute the three on the left side and multiply. Do the same on the right.

9y+36=24y                    Now, you can combine like terms by subtracting 9y to the other side.

36=15y                           Isolate y and divide it by 15.

y=2.4

I was unclear of the answer, so I plugged in 2.4 into the original equation where the y variable was, and got the right answer, so 2.4 should be the correct one no matter how you got it.

I hope this helped!
