Answer:

  • 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is going to be an arithmetic progression:</u>

  • 48500, 48500 + 1200, 48500 + 1200*2, ...

<u>So the first term is </u>

  • a₁ = 48500

<u>and the common difference is </u>

  • d = 1200

<u>Sum of AP is:</u>

  • S = (a₁ + aₙ)*n/2 = (2a₁ + (n - 1)d)*n/2

<u>Substitute and solve for n:</u>

  • (2*48500 + (n - 1)*1200)*n/2 = 321000
  • (97000 + 1200n - 1200)n = 642000
  • 1200n² + 95800n - 642000 = 0
  • 6n² + 479n - 3210 = 0

<u>Solving we get a positive root of:</u>

  • n ≈ 6.21 and it rounds up to 7 years

Please help need this done now hurry 1 question below!! 25 points

So we need to find the inequality, Simple! 
So we only have 5 dollars. That we cannot change. 
But the snadwich, however, we can change how much we buy. But this problem is asking us how many we can buy. So that is an x. So far, we have 2.25x.
Then we have to use the inequality sign 'less than or equal to' because we can buy less or equal to 5 dollars. 

So the equation is 2.25x \leq 5
Then we solve by isolating the x. We divide 2.25 both sides then we get x \leq 2
