Answer:
Let the x = # of pies Larry ate
Jesse ate 2x-5 pies
Total = 16
Your equation is:
x + (2x-5)=16
3x-5=16
3x=21
x = 7
Larry ate 7 pies.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's the same vallue. If they were different, i could argue that 2.000 is greater than 2.00. Impossible, because 2 is equal to 2.

Answer:
x=-3
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
-27=-9x-18y equation 1
-5y-10x-15=0 equation 2
using equation 2 we have:
-10x -15 =5y
y= -2x -3 equation 3
using equation 3 in equation 1 we have:
-27=-9x-18(-2x -3)
-27= -9x +36x +54
-27-54 =27x
-81 = 27x
so we have:
x= -81/27
x=-3
y= -2(-3) -3
y= 6-3
y = 3
Answer:
the explicit formula for h(n) is, -65-10n
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
h(1) = -75
h(n) = h(n-1)-10 ......[1]
Put n =2 in [1] we have;

Similarly for n = 3
and so on...
The series we get;

This is an arithmetic sequence series with common difference(d) = -10
Since,
-85-(-75) = -85+75 = -10,
-95-(-85) = -95+85 = -10 and so on
First term(a) = -75
the Explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is given by:

where a is the first term,
d is the common difference and
n is the number of terms.
We have to find the explicit formula for h(n);

Substitute the given values we have;

or

Therefore, the explicit formula for h(n) is, -65-10n
