Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For geometric sequences, we find r by dividing one of the terms by the last. So we could do $\frac{1}{\frac{16}{\frac{1}{8}}}$ or $\frac{1}{\frac{8}{\frac{1}{4}}}$ and it'll give us the same result (1/2)

Kryger [21]

Answer:

<h2>125 tickets for an adult</h2><h2>and 175 tickets for a student</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$a-\text{number of the tickets for an adult}\\s-\text{number of the tickets for a student}\\\\(1)\qquad a+s=300\\(2)\qquad4.5a+3s=1087.5\\------------\\(1)\\a+s=300\qquad\text{subtstitute}\ s\ \text{from both sides}\\a=300-s\\\\\text{Put it to (2):}\\\\4.5(300-s)+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(4.5)(300)+(4.5)(-s)+3s=1087.5\\\\1350-4.5s+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{subtract 1350 from both sides}\\\\-1.5s=-262.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-1.5)}\\\\\boxed{s=175}$

$\text{Put the value of}\ s\ \text{to (1):}\\\\a=300-175\\\\\boxed{a=125}$

Judging by the question I generated the equation y=75(1.09^x)
x is the amount of years.
So the equation you should get for 10 years is y=75(1.09^10)
The answer you get should get is $177.55

£35.50 for the first day then £18.25 for each extra day the total cost of hiring the machine was £ 163.25 how many day dose Mart

BabaBlast [244]

y = number of days
35.50 + 18.25 y = 163.25

18.25 y = 163.25 - 35.50

18.25y = 127.75

y = 127.75 / 18.25

y = 7

so Martin has hired the machine for 8 days

( first day paid 35.50), then 7 days for 18.25
