Answer:
<h2>
John has $15 and Alex has $33</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem
x+y=48
x=2y+3
since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:
(2y+3)+y=48 -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45 -> y=15
plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x
x+15 =48 --> x=33
Answer:
359/4
Decimal: 89.75
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence with the common difference being 1
and if u have 1 cent on day 1 and 2 cents on day 2....then on day 40, u would have 40 cents....but we need the sum of all the days..
the sum of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula :
sn = n(a1 + an) / 2
n = number of terms = 40
a1 = first term = 1
an = last term = 40
now we sub
s(40) = 40(1 + 40) / 2
s(40) = 40(41)/2
s(40) = 1640/2
s(40) = 820.....820 cents = $ 8.20 <== the sum
