12 + 3x = 30 // what is x?
3x = 18
x = 6
Answer:
$30,000 and $55,000
Step-by-step explanation:
If 4.5% loan is x, and the 6% loan is y, then:
x + y = 85000
0.045x + 0.06y = 4650
Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination. Using substitution:
0.045x + 0.06(85000 − x) = 4650
0.045x + 5100 − 0.06x = 4650
450 = 0.015x
x = 30000
y = 55000
Answer:
1) c 2)c 3)b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the recursive formula, each terms is five time the previous one.
This means that:
is 5 times
, which means 
- in turn,
is 5 times
, so we have
. This means that 
- Finally,
So, substituting this back gives

In general, since you have
, each time you compute a new term you multiply by a factor of 5, so if
, you have
