Charles' weight = Edith's weight + 20% of Edith's weight
We'll use a variable to represent Edith's weight, x.
The decimal form of 20% is 0.2.
60 = x + 0.2x
60 = 1.2x
x = 50
Edith's weight is 50kg.
Hope this helps!
Ages of Dan and Cary are 29 and 33 respectively.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Form equations out of the given details. Let the age of Dan be x, then age of Cary is x + 4.
In 7 years, sum of their ages = 76
⇒ (x + 7) + (x + 4 + 7) = 76
⇒ 2x + 18 = 76
⇒ 2x = 58
⇒ x = 29
Step 2:
Calculate age of Cary.
⇒ x + 4 = 33
44
The pattern is +1,+1,x2
Answer:
a₇ = 2.375
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is
r = 
= 
= 
= - 
This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term
= a₁ 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 152 and r = - , then
= 152 
, so
a₇ = 152 
= 152 × 
= 2.375
