Answer:

The cost of

1 slice of pizza = x = $1.75

1 diet pepsi = y = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The cost of

1 slice of pizza = x

1 diet pepsi = y

Tyler bought two pieces of pizza and three diet Pepsi for $7.25

2x + 3y = 7.25.......Equation 1

Scotty but four pizzas and a diet Pepsi for $8.25

4x + y = 8.25......Equation 2

Combining the Equations

2x + 3y = 7.25.......Equation 1

4x + y = 8.25......Equation 2

y = 8.25 - 4x

We substitute 8.25 - 4x for y in Equation 1

2x + 3(8.25 - 4x) = 7.25

2x + 24.75 - 12x = 7.25

Collect like terms

24.75 - 7.25 = 12x - 2x

17.5 = 10x

x = 17.5/10

x = $1.75

Solving for y

y = 8.25 - 4x

y = 8.25 - 4(1.75)

y = 8.25 - 7

y = $1.25

Therefore,

The cost of

1 slice of pizza = x = $1.75

1 diet pepsi = y = $1.25

Find the 14th term of the geometric sequence 10,40,160
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

671,088,640.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the 14th term of the geometric sequence that begins with 10, 40 and 160, knowing that each number is multiplied by 4, the following calculation must be performed, taking into account that the initial number (10) is multiplied by 4, and that said number must be potentiated 13 times to obtain the 14th term:

10 x (4 ^ 13) = X

10 x 67,108,864 = X

671,088,640 = X

Therefore, the 14th term of the geometric sequence will be 671,088,640.

6. The area of a rectangular sheet of paper is 300 cm squared. The length is 5 cm more than the width
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

width = x

length= x + 5

a)  x + 5

b) x * (x+5) = 300

x^2 + 5x = 300

x^2 + 5x - 300 = 0

Δ = 25 + 1200 = 1225

width = (-5 + 35)/2 = 15 cm

lenght = 15 + 5 = 20 cm
