<u>Answer:4.75</u>

<u>Since we don't have a total cost we will write an equation that will allow us to find the cost of x. The equation is 4x= 2x + $3 + $3.75 + $2.75. Now that we have our equation we are going to start by adding 3, 3.75, and 2.75. When added together, they come out with a total of 9.5. Now the equation becomes 4x= 2x + $9.50. Since we have our new equation we are going to subtract 2x from both sides of the equation. We now have the equation 2x= $9.50. Finally, you will divide both sides by 2. This leaves us with the final outcome x= $4.75. This means that one glues stick cost $4.75. Let's check by substituting $4.75 as the value of x in the expressions 4x is Carlo's total and 2x + $3 + $3.75 + $2.75 is Helen's total. First we do 4x, 4 multiplied by 4.75 equals 19, so Carlo spent $19 on art supplies. Now we do 2x + $3 + $3.75 + $2.75, which is 9.5 added to 9.5 and equals 19. So Helen spent $19 on art supplies. This proves that the cost of one glue stick, x, is equal $4.75.</u>

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1/4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest
Sati [7]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x

Multiply through by x(x + 15):

150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000

150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0

1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3

x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3

x = 180/3 or -225/3

x = 60 or -75

But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10  hours.

vovangra [49]

A

this is a geometric sequence since there exists a common ratio r between the terms

r = \frac{21}{7} = \frac{63}{21} = \frac{189}{63} = 3

B

to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by 3

a_{n+1} = 3 a_{n} ← recursive rule

C

the n th term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a_{1} r^{n-1}

where a_{1} is the first term in the sequence

a_{n} = 7 × 3^{n-1} ← explicit rule
