The drama club is having a car wash as a fundraiser. They wash x cars at $5 each

<u>Answer:</u>

x + y ≥ 26 + 15

5x + 8y ≥ 250 (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write an equation to represent the total cost to wash cars:

$5x = cost for cars

Then, write another for trucks:

$8y = cost for trucks

If the question is saying that they will wash at least 26 cars and 15 trucks, that means they could wash more. This means that we'll need an inequality:

This inequality represents that the total number of cars and trucks they wash will be at least—which means that it is equal to or greater than—than the amount given:

x + y ≥ 26 + 15

Any equation or inequality with two unknowns is not solvable, meaning we need a system of equations:

If they make at least $250, that means that we need to combine the costs of the cars and trucks to make an inequality:

5x + 8y ≥ 250

Now you have your system of equations:

x + y ≥ 26 + 15

5x + 8y ≥ 250

Solve for x.<br> 3x – 8 &lt; 23 AND<br> - 4x + 26 &gt; 6
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

B. x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets go first with 3x – 8 < 23  then with - 4x + 26 > 6 and after that we put them together. (I will use the < > signs but as I see on the pictures these include the =, being less and greater OR equal).

3x – 8 < 23

Lets sum 8 in both sides:

3x < 23 +8

3x < 31

Now, divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 < 31/3

x < 31/3

Here we found one condition. Lets go with the other inequality for the other condition:

- 4x + 26 > 6

Lest sum 4x in both sides to get a potive x:

- 4x + 26 + 4x > 6 +4x

26 > 6 +4x

Now subtract 6 in both sides

26 - 6 > 6 +4x - 6

20 > 4x

Finally, divide both sides by 4:

20/4 > x or 5 > x (simplifying we get the second)

So, our second condition says that x must be less than 5.

So, putting both conditions together:

x < 5

x < 31/3 = 10.33

So, if x must be less than 5 and less than 10.33, is the same that saying that x mus be less than 5. We con obviate the condition that x must be less than 10.33 as it is included in the other. So our answer is:

x < 5

It is the option B in the image (remember I didnt use the less or equal sign because you didn't included it in the statement).

Consider a sequence given by the formula f(n) = 1 / 3 ^ n−1 starting with n = 1. Generate the first 5 terms of the
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the formula we need to start from n = 1. So the first 5 terms of the sequence, will have the following values of n: 1,2,3,4,5

Now, we need to replace the values of n into the formula to get all the terms.

f(1) = 1/3 ^ 1-1 = 1/3^0 = 1.

This is because any number elevated to zero is always the unit, in this case, 1.

f(2) = 1/3 ^2-1 = 1/3 ^1 = 1/3

This, because any number elevated to 1, is always the same initial number.

f(3) = 1/3 ^3-1 = 1/3 ^2 = 1/9.

Because when the exponent is elevating a fraction number, the power goes to both numbers (numerator and denominator)

f(4) = 1/3 ^4-1 = 1/3 ^3 = 1/27.

f(5) = 1/3 ^5-1 = 1/3 ^4 = 1/81.
