Answer:

x = 1 ; y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x + 3y = 11)

2(5x + 3y + 14)

(distribute)

10x + 15y = 55

10x + 6y = 28

(subtract)

9y = 27

(divided 9 to both sides)

9 divided by 9 cancels out and 27 divided by 9 = 3

so..

y = 3

now, using any equation, (i’ll be using 2x + 3y =11) plug in the y value to find the x value

2x + 3y = 11

2x + 3(3) = 11

(multiply 3 x 3)

2x + 9 = 11

(subtract 9 from 9 and 11)

2x = 2

(divide 2 from both sides)

2 divided by 2 = 1

therefore...

x = 1

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is n/2(4n + 20).

lesantik [10]

Answer:

(a).

$S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (4n + 20) \\ \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n - 4 + 20) \\ \\ S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16) \\ \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)(4n + 16)}{2} \\ \\ { \boxed{S _{n - 1} = {2 {n}^{2} + 6n - 8}}} \\$

(b).

from general equation:

$S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16)$

first term is 4n

common difference:

$16 = \{(n - 1) - 1 \}d \\ 16 = (n - 2)d \\ d = \frac{16}{n - 2}$

Sec 16° cosec 74° - cot 74° tan 16°

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sec 16° cosec 74° - cot 74° tan 16°

= 1/ cos 16 * 1/ sin 74 - 1/tan 74 * tan16

= 1/ cos16 sin 74 - cos74/ sin74 * sin 16 / cos 16

Now cos 16 = sin 74 and sin 16 = cos 74 (supplementary angles) so:

= 1 / cos^2 16 - sin 16/cos 16 * sin 16 / cos 16

=( 1 - sin ^2 16 )/ cos^2 16

= cos^2 16 / cos^2 16

= 1.

Sharon makes $1250 per month plus 20% per month plus 15% commission. If they both sold $20000, who made more money that month?

REY [17]

You type "they both ... " This indicates that there are TWO people involved, not just one.

"<span>plus 20% per month plus 15% commission" isn't quite clear. Is that 20% of the base pay ($1,250)? I assume that the 15% commission is figured on the sales ($20,000)

Please clarify this as much as you can.</span>
