It must be true that one of the numbers is negative. Hope that helps!!
Answer: the 7th person will get 3.125 pieces of gum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. This means that number of pieces of gum that each student gets is reducing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = 200
r = 0.5
n = 7
The 7th term, T7 is
T7 = 200 × 0.5^(7 - 1)
T7 = 200 × 0.5^6
T7 = 3.125
Answer:
10 x squared minus 4 y + 2 x squared minus y
Step-by-step explanation:
9x^2-2y+3x^2-3y
Collect like terms
9x^2+3x^2-2y-3y
=12x^2-5y
10 x squared minus 4 y + 2 x squared minus y
10x^2-4y+2x^2-y
Collect like terms
10x^2+2x^2-4y-y
=12x^2-5y
9x^2-2y+3x^2-3y is equivalent to
10x^2-4y+2x^2-y
Check all the options
6 x squared minus y + 6 x squared minus 5 y
6x^2-y+6x2-5y
12x^2-6y
6 x squared minus y + 3 x squared minus 4 y
6x^2-y+3x^2-4y
9x^2-5y
10 x squared minus 4 y + 2 x squared minus y
10x^2-4y+2x^2-y
12x^2-5y
11 x squared + 2 y + x squared minus 3 y
11x^2+2y+x^2-3y
12x^2-y
