For this Question use the substitution method.

5x+2y = $48 ------First Equation.
3x+2y = $32 ------ Second Equation

x= 48-2y/ 5 ( 48-2y divided by 5)

Put the value of x in the second equation.

3(48-2y/5)+2y = $32
 (144-6y/5) + 2y = $32
Take L.C.M 
144-6y+10y/5 = $32
144+4y = 32*5
144+4y = 160
4y = 160-144
4y = 16
y = 4
Now put the value of y in any equation.
5x+2(4) = $48
5x+8 = $48
5x = 48-8
5x = 40
x = 8
-------------------------
A Dress costs $8 and a belt costs $ 4.

What is the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence? 2, -4, 8, -16, ​
Marianna [84]

Answer:

the answer is f(x) = n*(-2)

ratio is the wrong word to use, it is for contolled variation in probability. a sequence is controlled by what is known as a function - f(x) is the symbol for a function

Step-by-step explanation:

the following number of the previous one in the sequence is derived by the function f(x)=n*(-2)

2 x -2 = -4 (positive x negative = negative)

-4 × -2 = 8 (negative x negative = positive)

8 x -2 = -16 (positive x negative = negative)

so in the sequence, the trend of -,+ double will go on

5^(2x-1)+5^(x+1)=250<br> how do you solve?<br> thank you
zepelin [54]

Answer:

<em>x = 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Equations</u>

Solve:

5^{2x-1}+5^{x+1}=250

Separate each exponential:

5^{2x}5^{-1}+5^{x}5^{1}=250

Operating:

\displaystyle \frac{5^{2x}}{5}+5^{x}5=250

Multiplying by 5:

5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x=1250

Rearranging:

5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x-1250=0

Recall that:

5^{2x}=(5^{x})^2

(5^{x})^2+25\cdot5^x-1250=0

Calling

y=5^{x}:

y^2+25y-1250=0

Factoring:

(y-25)(y+50)=0

There are two possible solutions:

y=25

y=-50

Since

y=5^{x}

y cannot be negative, thus:

5^{x}=25=5^2

The solution is:

x = 2
