Gold pieces the first leprechaun has: x
Gold pieces the second leprechaun has: y
<span>
The first leprechaun says to the other, ‘Give me seven of your gold pieces and I will have twice as many as you!’:
The first leprechaun would have x+7
The second leprechaun would have y-7
</span>I will have twice as many as you:
(1) x+7=2(y-7)
<span>(1) x+7=2y-14
(1) x+7-7-2y=2y-14-7-2y
(1) x-2y=-21
</span>The other one replies, ‘No way! Give me seven of yours and we’ll have the same number’
The first leprechaun would have x-7
The second leprechaun would have y+7
We’ll have the same number:
(2) x-7=y+7
(2) x-7+7-y=y+7+7-y
(2) x-y=14
<span>How many gold pieces does the first leprechaun have?
x=?
We have a system with 2 equations and two unknows (x and y). We need to solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(2) x-y=14
Using the method of substitution, we can isolating y in the second equation:
(2) x-y=14
(2) x-y+y-14=14+y-14
(2) x-14=y
(2) y=x-14
And we can replace y in the first equation by x-14, and solve for x:
(1) x-2y=-21
(1) x-2(x-14)=-21
(1) x-2x+28=-21
(1) -x+28=-21
(1) -x+28-28=-21-28
(1) -x=-49
(1) (-1)*(-x=-49)
(1) x=49
Answer: T</span>he first leprechaun has 49 gold pieces
Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 180 because:
Answer:
S₁₆ = 328
Step-by-step explanation:
the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
given a₄ = 7 and a₇ = 16 , then
a₁ + 3d = 7 → (1)
a₁ + 6d = 16 → (2)
subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁
0 + 3d = 9
3d = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
d = 3
substitute d = 3 into (1) and solve for a₁
a₁ + 3(3) = 7
a₁ + 9 = 7 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
a₁ = - 2
the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
= 
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
with a₁ = - 2 and d = 3 , then
S₁₆ = 
[ (2 × - 2) + (15 × 3) ]
= 8(- 4 + 45)
= 8 × 41
= 328
Answer:
-62.5008
Step-by-step explanation:
the pattern here is dividing by -5, so just continue dividing by -5 starting on -3 and continuing 4 more times. record each number and then add them together using a calculator. you will get -62.5008
Please mark brainliest :)
What a terrible question. I'm sorry you have this teacher. I think the answer they are looking for is 42 even though there's that +/- should be in a parenthesis and then you are rounding 6.5² to 42. Hope this helps
