Multiply the second fraction by two; which gets you 5/10 + 2/10 = 7/10
Answer:
(14, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve by using substitution, begin by solving for a variable in the first equation. Let's solve for x:
Now we know what <em>x</em> equals. Let's substitute this into the second equation:
We can then simplify:
Given equation
Combine y terms
Add 2
Divide by -11
So, we now know the value of y = -2.
To find the value of X, we can substitute the value of Y into one of the equations. Let's use the first one:
Substitute for y
Distribute 8
Add 16
So, we now know the value of x = 14.
Therefore, we know a solution to the system of equations is (14, -2).
This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term. So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number
In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so
a(n)=2^(n-1) so on the sixth week he will run:
a(6)=2^5=32
He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.
Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r) where the variables have the same values so
s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)
s(n)=2^n-1 so
s(6)=2^6-1
s(6)=64-1
s(6)=63 blocks
So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.
