Answer:

S_5=\dfrac{170}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The sum of first n term of a sequence isS_n=20-\dfrac{10}{2n-1}

We need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.

Put n = 5,

S_5=20-\dfrac{10}{2(5)-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{10-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{170}{9}

So, the sum of first 5 terms is equal to \dfrac{170}{9}.

You and your friend are selling tickets to a charity event. You sell 11 adult tickets and 8 student tickets for $158. Your frien
svetlana [45]
So what we have to do to solve this problem is to write down those values in 2 equations (one that represents what you sold and the other what your friend sold) compare them and find how much each ticket is worth.
First equation : 11x + 8y = 158
Where x = how much each adult ticket is
and y = how much each student ticket is

The second equation is : 5x + 17y = 152

Using the method of substitution , we can compare each equation side by side:
11x + 8y = 158
5x + 17y = 152
Now we need to set one of the variables of both equations so they are equal:
11(5)x + 8(5) = 158(5)
5(11)x + 17(11)x = 152(11)

55x + 40y = 790
55x + 187y = 1672

Then we subtract the second equation by the first one

55x-55x + 187y - 40y = 1672 - 790
147y = 882
y = 6
The we apply y to one of the equations to discover x :
11x + 8y = 158
11x + 8(6) = 158
11x + 48 = 158
11x = 110
x = 10

So the awnser is :
Each adult ticket (x) is $10
And each student ticket (y) is $8
I hope you understood my explanation,

The sum of two numbers is fourteen. One number is two less than three times the other. Find the numbers.
Margarita [4]
So, for the first variable, you would use x, and for the second, y. Then, you would write out 2-(3y)=14. once this is done, youd simplify to 2-3y=14. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3y=12. Then, divide both sides by 3. this will leave you with y=4. From this you can see the other number is ten. Hope this helped! and i apologize if it is incorrect!
