You can mow 800 square feet of lawn in 15 minutes at this rate how many minutes will it take you to mow a lawn that measures 600

Natalija [7]

If you would like to know how many minutes will it take you to mow a lawn that measures 6000 square feet, you can calculate this using the following steps:

800 square feet ... 15 minutes
6000 square feet ... M minutes = ?

800 * M = 15 * 6000
M = 15 * 6000 / 800
M = 112.5 minutes

This will take 112.5 minutes.

Find the first term and the common ratio <br>third term =6 and seventh term= 96

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first term and common ratio while we are given third term = 6 and seventh term = 96

Since common ratio is required so, the sequence is geometric sequence

The formula used is: $a_n= a_1r^{n-1}$

We are given: third term = 6 i,e

$a_3=a_1r(3-1)\\6=a_1r^2----eq(1)$

Seventh term = 96

$a_7=a_1r(7-1)\\96=a_1r^6----eq(2)$

Dividing eq(2) and eq(3)

$\frac{96}{6}=\frac{a_1r^6}{a1r2}\\16=\frac{r^6}{r^2}\\16=r^{6-2}\\=> r^4=16\\Taking \ fourth \ root\\ r=2,-2,2i,-2i\\ \ We \ will \ consider \ only \ positive \ value \ of \ r \ i.e \ \textbf{ r= 2}$

So, Common Ratio r = 2

Finding First term using eq(1)

$a_3=a_1r^2\\6=a_1(2)^2\\6=a_1(4)\\a_1= \frac{6}{4}\\a_1= \frac{3}{2}$

So, First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Solve the system of equations using subtraction. Equation 1: 3x-2y= -2 Equation 2: 3x + y = 10 The solution is (? ,?) HURRY PLEA

Art [367]

Answer:

the solution is x = 2 and y = 4 OR (2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Equation 1: 3x-2y= -2

Equation 2: 3x + y = 10

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, that is

3x + y = 10 - (3x -2y = -2)

You get

3x - 3x + y - (-2y) = 10 - (-2)

0 + y + 2y = 10 + 2

3y = 12

Divide both sides by 3

∴ y = 12/3

y = 4

Substitute the value of y into equation 2 to get x

3x + y = 10

3x + 4 = 10

Then,

3x = 10 - 4

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 6/3

x = 2

Hence, the solution is x = 2 and y = 4
