Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
In an arithmetic progression,
First term of the progression,
a =
Common difference 'd' =
Recursive formula for the sequence,
a =
By applying these rules in the recursive formula,
Common difference 'd' =
Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.
Matt earns $4 and $3 for 1 load of laundry and 1 load of dishes respectively
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Matt gets paid at home for doing extra chores.
We have to find How much does Matt earn for completing each type of chore?
Let the amount for 1 load of laundry be m and amount for 1 load of dish be n.
Now, last week, he did 6 loads of laundry and 1 load of dishes, and his parents paid him $27.
Then, 6 amount for 1 load of laundry + 1
amount for 1 load of dish = 27
The week before, he finished 1 load of laundry and 9 loads of dishes, earning a total of $31
Then, 1 amount for 1 load of laundry + 9
amount for 1 load of laundry = 31 ⇒m + 9n = 31 ⇒ (2)
Now let us solve equations (1) and (2)
0 – 53n = - 159
-53n = -159
53n = 159
n = 3
Now, substitute n value in (1) ⇒ 6m + 3 = 27 ⇒ 6m = 24 ⇒ m = 4
Hence, matt earns $4 and $3 for 1 load of laundry and 1 load of dishes respectively.
