Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If a1 = 7 and an = An-1 – 3

a4 = a3 - 3

Get a2;

a2 = a1 - 3

a2 = 7 - 3

a2 = 4

Get a3;

a3 = a2 - 3

a3 = 4 - 3

a3 = 1

GEt the required a4

a4 = a3 - 3

a4 = 1 - 3

a4  = -2

Hence the value of a4 is -2

A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent 4 chairs and 8 tables is $89 . The total cost to r
puteri [66]
Let C = cost to rent each chairLet T = cost to rent each table

 4C + 8T = 73
2C + 3T = 28 
Multiply the 2nd equation by (-2) and then add the equations together 

  4C + 8T = 73
-4C - 6T = -56
 2T = 17T = 17/2 = 8.5

 Plug this in to the 1st equation to solve for C
 4C + 8(17/2) = 73
4C + 68 = 73
4C = 5C = 5/4 = 1.25
 So the cost to rent each chair is $1.25 and the cost to rent each table is $8.50

Mary walks from comer D to comer E to comer F on a city block that measures 264 feet wide and 900 feet long. Kate walks
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Difference between the distances traveled by Mary and Kate = 226 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in right ΔDEF,

(DE)² + (EF)² = (DF)²

By substituting DE = 264 feet and EF = 900 feet

(264)² + (900)² = (DF)²

DF = √(69696+810000)

     = √879696

     = 937.92

Distance traveled by Kate diagonally = 938 feet

Distance traveled by Mary = DE + EF

                                            = 264 + 900

                                            = 1164 feet

Difference between the distances traveled by Mary and Kate = DF - (DE + EF)

= 1164 - 937.92

= 226.07

≈ 226 feet

Suppose you have a coupon for a 20% discount. You buy a game that costs $38. The sales tax rate is 5.5%. Sales tax applies to th
Soloha48 [4]
$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072

Combine the terms by multiplying into a single fraction.

\bf{\dfrac{5}{2}x-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14   }

Find the common denominator.

\bf{\dfrac{5x}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14   }

Combine fractions with the lowest common denominator.

\bf{\dfrac{5x(-7)}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14   }

Multiply the numbers.

\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14   }

Combine the multiplied terms into a single fraction

\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x}{4}+14   }

Find the common denominator.

\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x}{4}+\dfrac{4\cdot14}{4}    }

Combine fractions with the lowest common denominator.

\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x+4\cdot14}{4}   }

Multiply the numbers.

\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x+56}{4}   }

Eliminate the denominators of the fractions.

\bf{4\cdot\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=4\cdot\dfrac{3x+56}{4}   }

Cancel the multiplied terms that are in the denominator.

\bf{2(5x-14)=3x+56}

To distribute.

\bf{10x-28=3x+56 }

Add 28 to both sides.

\bf{10x-28+28=3x+56+28 }

Simplify

\bf{10x=3x+84 }

Subtract 3x from both sides.

\bf{10x-3x=3x+84-3x }

Simplify

\bf{7x=84 }

Divide both sides by the same factor.

\bf{x=\dfrac{84}{7} }

Simplify
