Answer: Required equation: 400+25x = 2100

Variable: x = Number of days to donate 2100 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of days.

y = Total pounds of food donated in x days.

Given: Initial amount of food = 400 pounds

Pounds of food donated per day = 25

Total food = Initial amount of food + (Pounds of food donated per day ) (Number of days)

y =  400+25x

Their goal is to collect 2100 pounds.

2100 = 400+25x  [Substitute y= 2100]

Required equation: 400+25x = 2100

Variable: x = Number of days.

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the
Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees wasx+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x, and for the next three years we have that

                             Start                                          End

Second year     \frac{5}{4}x --------------   \frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x

Third year    (\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x-------------(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x

Fourth year (\frac{5}{4})^{3}x--------------(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.

So  the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year  is  

(\frac{5}{4} )^{4} x, we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then  

6250=(\frac{5}{4} )^{4}x⇒x=\frac{6250*4^{4} }{5^{4} }= \frac{10*5^{4}*4^{4} }{5^{4} }=2560.

Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.
