Answer:

1st - $92

2nd - $72

3ed - $36

Step-by-step explanation:

save 20 dollars for first place, because they are going to get that no matter what.

200 - 20 = 180

we'll need to divide 180 into 5 parts, one for 3ed place, two each for 1st and second.

180 / 5 = 36

3ed place gets $36

2nd gets twice that, $72

1st gets the same as 2nd +$20, so $92

to check our answer, add up all their profit and make sure it's 200 even.

Answers:

  • Blank 1:  4
  • Blank 2:  -1

So the solution is (x,y) = (4, -1)

=============================================================

Work Shown:

6x + 7y = 17

6x + 7( y ) = 17

6x + 7( -3x+11 ) = 17 ... replace every copy of y with -3x+11

6x - 21x + 77 = 17

-15x = 17-77

-15x = -60

x = -60/(-15)

x = 4

We'll use this x value to find y

y = -3x+11

y = -3(4)+11 ... replace x with 4

y = -12+11

y = -1

We have  x = 4 and y = -1 pair up together to give us the solution (x,y) = (4, -1)

------------------------

To check the solution, we plug x = 4 and y = -1 into each equation

Plugging the values into the first equation leads to...

y = -3x+11

-1 = -3(4)+11

-1 = -1

This is effectively already done in the last part of the previous section. But it doesn't hurt to verify like this regardless.

We'll need to verify the second equation as well.

6x + 7y = 17

6(4) + 7(-1) = 17

24 - 7 = 17

17 = 17

We get a true equation, so the solution is confirmed with both equations. Overall, the solution to the system of equations is confirmed. This system is independent and consistent.

N/2 + 3<br><br><br><br> Find the first 5 terms in the sequence...
noname [10]

Answer:

The first '5' terms of the given sequence

\frac{7}{2} , 4 ,\frac{9}{2} ,5,\frac{11}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given that the n^{th}    aₙ =     \frac{N}{2} + 3

<em>first term</em>

Put n=1  ⇒     \frac{1}{2} + 3 = \frac{7}{2}

<em>second term</em>

Put n=2 ⇒   \frac{2}{2} + 3 = 1+3=4

<em>Third term</em>

Put n=3 ⇒   \frac{3}{2} + 3 = \frac{3+6}{2}=\frac{9}{2}

<em>Fourth term</em>

Put n=4 ⇒  \frac{4}{2} + 3 = 2+3 =5

<em>Fifth term</em>

Put n=5 ⇒ \frac{5}{2} + 3 = \frac{5+6}{2}=\frac{11}{2}

The first '5' terms of the given sequence

\frac{7}{2} , 4 ,\frac{9}{2} ,5,\frac{11}{2}

4 1/3 - 2 3/4 well i can not get the question right
sergejj [24]
First you need to make the fractions denominators equal. So you will multiply 1/3 by 4 and 3/4 by 3, leaving you with 4 4/12 - 2 9/12. Simply leaving you with 1 7/12
