Let g_n represent the number of feet that the balloon rises in the n^{th} minute.

so

g_1=40 ft , means that in the 1st minute, the balloon rose 40 feet

g_2=60 ft, means : in the 2nd minute the balloon rose 60 feet

g_3=80

we notice that each minute, the balloon rises a multiple of 20, feet:

g_1=40=2*20 

g_2=60=3*20 

g_3=80=4*20

so it is clear that g_n=(n+1)*20

during the 15th minute the balloon rises g_1_5=16*20=320(feet)


Answer: 320

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

i) Number of people in club = 12

ii) 96 ounces of fruit punch for 12people

iii) 24 ounces of cheese for 12 people

iv) Priya's budget for poetry club meeting in dollars = $7.87

Step-by-step explanation:

We are not given the options for the equations that could represent the quantities and constraints in this situation. We can tell we are to represent the information given above.

Number of people in the club = 12

8 ounces of fruit punch per person

For 12 people = 12×8 = 96 ounces of fruit punch

2 ounces of cheese per person

For 12 people = 12×2 = 24 ounces of cheese

A package of cheese = 16 ounces

The costs for 1package = $3.99

The costs for 16 ounces of cheese = $3.99

The cost for 24 ounces of cheese = (24×3.99)/16 = 5.985

The cost for 24 ounces of cheese = $5.99

One-gallon jug of fruit punch = 128 ounces

The cost of One-gallon jug of fruit punch = $2.50

The costs of 128 ounces of fruit punch = $2.50

The costs for 96 ounces of fruit punch = (96×2.5)/128 = 1.875

The costs for 96 ounces of fruit punch = $1.88

Priya's budget for poetry club meeting in dollars = $5.99 + $1.88 = $7.87

Cost per item for x number of people:

y = x(2.5/128) + x (3.99/16)

y = x(0.0195) + x(0.2494)

Cost equation for Priya's budget:

y = 96x(2.5/128) + 24x (3.99/16)

y = 96x(0.0195) + 24x(0.2494)

Since the total number of people to attend the meeting is 12, the constraint = 0≤x≤12

What is the value of x?<br><br> 27(x+4)=−6<br><br><br> −35<br><br> −25<br><br> 25<br><br> 35
Oksanka [162]

x = -38/9 !!!


27(x+4)=−6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

27(x+4)=−6

(27)(x)+(27)(4)=−6 (Distribute)

27x+108=−6

Step 2: Subtract 108 from both sides.

27x+108−108=−6−108

27x=−114

Step 3: Divide both sides by 27.

27x/27=−114/27

x=−389
