Answer:
it's "c" or the third option
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
common ratio=18/-3=-108/18=-6, a=-3
sn=a(r^n-1)(r-1)
sn=-3((-6)^n-1)(-6-1)
sn=-3(-6)^8-1)/(-7)
s8=-3(1679615)/(-7)
s8=719836
Answer:
a=50 b=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Call A and B the 2 present ages.
Ten years from now, A is twice as old as B -->
(A + 10) = 2(B + 10) (1)
Five years ago, A was 3 times as old as B -->
(A - 5) = 3(B - 5) (2).
Solve the system (1) and (2).
From (2) --> A = 3B - 15 + 5 = 3B - 10.
Replace this value of A into (1) -->
3B - 10 + 10 = 2B + 20 --> B = 20. Then,
A = 3B - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50.
Check
!0 years from now --> A = 60 and B = 30 --> A = 2B .OK
5 years ago --> A = 45 and B = 15 --> A = 3B. OK
