A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 8 pounds of jelly beans and 3 pounds of trail mix, the total is $18.

topjm [15]

Answer: each pound of jelly beans costs 1.5 dollars, or $1.50, and each pound of trail mix costs 2 dollars, or $2

Step-by-step explanation:

j = jellybeans

t = trail mix

2j + 5t = 13

8j + 3t = 18

To solve this, we want to isolate a variable, and solve for the other. Let's do that with each equation.

2j + 5t = 13

2j = 13 - 5t

j = (13 - 5t) / 2

8j + 3t = 18

8j = 18 - 3t

j = (18 - 3t) / 8

Now that we have isolated the variable j in each equation, we can set the two right-sides equal to each other, and solve for t.

(13 - 5t) / 2 = (18 - 3t) / 8

By multiplying both sides by 8, this becomes simpler to look at.

8 * (13 - 5t) / 2 = 18 - 3t

4 * (13 - 5t) = 18 - 3t

4 * 13 - 4 * 5t = 18 - 3t

52 - 20t = 18 - 3t

52 = 18 + 17t

34 = 17t

34 / 17 = t

t = 2

Now that we have solved for t, we can trivially plug it into one of the other equations to solve for j. Let's choose the first equation, as it doesn't matter which we choose.

t = 2

2j + 5t = 13

2j + 5 * 2 = 13

2j + 10 = 13

2j = 13 - 10

2j = 3

j = 1.5

So, each pound of jelly beans costs 1.5 dollars, or $1.50, and each pound of trail mix costs 2 dollars, or $2.

Find the 9th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1/3 and whose first term is 2.

raketka [301]

Answer:

2/6561

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence formula : $a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1$

where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position

given ratio : 1/3 , first term : 2 , given this we want to find the 9th term

to do so we simply plug in what we are given into the formula

recall formula : $a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1$

define variables : a1 = 2 , r = 1/3 , n = 9

plug in values

a9 = 2(1/3)^(9-1)

subtract exponents

a9 = 2(1/3)^8

evaluate exponent

a9 = 2 (1/6561)

multiply 2 and 1/6561

a9 = 2/6561
