Answer:

x = 2x

x + 20 = 2x + 20

And,

1.5(x + 20) = 2x + 20

x = 20 i.e. Alexis

And, Jelani be 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Jelani has twice as much as Alexis

And, both can added $20

Jelani will have 1.5 times as much on his pass on Alexis

We need to write an equation also the amount does Jelani and Alexis have

So,

Let us assume the alexis be x

And, Jelani be 2x

Now

x = 2x

x + 20 = 2x + 20

And,

1.5(x + 20) = 2x + 20

1.5x + 30 = 2x + 20

-0.5x = -10

x = 20 i.e. Alexis

And, Jelani be 40

A sequence is defined recursively by the formula f(n+1)=-2f(n). The first term of the sequence is -1.5. Whis is the next term in
podryga [215]
We are told that f(1) = -1.5, and that f(n+1) = -2f(n).
                                                 Then: f(2) = -2f(1) = -2(-1.5) = +3 (answer)

One member of the debate team is going to be chosen president. each member is equally likely to be chosen. the probability that
inessss [21]
Let
x-------> <span>the probability that a boy is chosen
B------> </span>number of boys in the debate team
G------> number of girls in the debate team<span>

we know that
B+G=20-----> G=20-B-----> equation 1
</span>probability that a boy is chosen=number of boys in the debate team/total of people
so
x=B/20-------> equation 2

t<span>he probability that a girl is chosen is 2/3 the probability that a boy is chosen
</span>probability that a girl is chosen=(2/3)*x
probability that a girl is chosen=G/20
(2/3)*x=G/20-----> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in equation 3
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20----> equation 4

resolve the equations system
x=B/20
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=0.6
B=12
G=20-12-----> G=8

number of boys in the debate team is 12
number of girls in the debate team is 8
the probability that a boy is chosen is 0.6 ----> 60%
the probability that a girl is chosen is 0.6*(2/3)----> 0.4---> 40%

the answer is
number of girls in the debate team is 8
