Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The difference of two numbers is 15."

x-y = 15

x>y

"Five times the smaller number is the same as 9 less than twice the larger number."

5y = 2x-9

y = x-15

substitution

5(x-15) = 2x-9

5x-75 = 2x-9

3x = 66

x = 22

y = x-15 = 7

11 th term of the following geometric sequence.<br> 10,50,250,1250
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

97,656,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term, a(1), is 10.  The next is 5 times greater.  And so on.  Thus, the common ratio is 5, and the general formula for this sequence is

a(n) = a(1)*5^(n -1).

Therefore,

a(11) = 10*5^(11 - 1) = 10*5^10  =  97,656,250
