Sugar: x pounds
flour: 2x + 5 pounds
2x + 3(2x + 5) = 40
2x + 6x + 15 = 40
8x = 25
x = 3.125
-> a sack of flour is 3.125 + 5 = 8.125 pounds
I hope it‘s coorect
Answer:
A) [First try is correct for all U1 to U4]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Trying each option
(let x = 1,2,3,4) since it goes from U1 to U4 (Geometric sequence)
A.) 10(-4/5)^x
10(-4/5)^1 = -8
10(-4/5)^2 = 6.4
10(-4/5)^3 = -5.12
10(-4/5)^4 = 4.096
A(b-c)=ab-ac
(1/7)(1/3h-1/2)=(1/7)(1/3h)-(1/7)(1/2)=1/21h-1/14
now we gots
6 and 1/7+1/21h-1/14
rearange
6 and 1/7-1/14+1/21h
make common denom which is 14
6 and 2/14-1/14+1/21h
6 and 1/14+1/21h
About 1.76 percent
I did the math myself
