Answer:
50 nickels, 20 quarters.
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations (q = # of quarters, n = # of nickels):
<em>q + n = 70, 0.25q + 0.05n = 7.50</em>
the first equation can be changed to q = 70 - n, so we are able to <em>substitute q with 70 - n</em>.
So, it will look like <em>0.25*70 - 0.25n + 0.05n = 7.50</em>. This can be simplified to <em>0.2n = 10</em>, which means that n = 50.
Knowing that we can solve <em>q + 50 = 70</em>, which means that q = 20.
Answer:
The fourth term of the sequence B(4) =-8
The sequence is 1,-2,4,-8...
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>
Given that the sequence
B(n) = 1(-2)ⁿ⁻¹
Put n=1
B(1) = 1(-2)¹⁻¹ = 2⁰ =1
Put n=2
B(2) = 1(-2)²⁻¹ = (-2)¹ =-2
Put n=3
B(3) =1(-2)³⁻¹ = (-2)² =4
Put n=4
B(4) = 1(-2)⁴⁻¹ =(-2)³ =-8
The sequence
1,-2,4,-8...
