Answer:
-19
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x + 1) = (5/2)*f(x)
f(x + 1) = 2.5*f(x), f(1) = 3.2
f(2) = 2.5f(1) = 2.5*3.2 = 8
<span>f(3) = 2.5f(2) = 2.5*8 = 20
</span>
f(4) = 2.5f(3) = 2.5*20 = 50
<span>f(5) = 2.5f(4) = 2.5*50 = 125</span>
Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then
Alvin's age = 2x , that is
y = 2x ............... equation 1
The sum of their ages is 63 implies
x + y = 63 .............. equation 2
Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have
x + 2x = 63
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42
