Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 15

a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3

a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3

...

It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.

Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)

= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)

= 3,985,800

Luden [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2c+12t=105, and 5c+3t=33, subtracting 4 times the second from the first gives you

2c+12t-20c-12t=105-132

-18c=-27 dividing each side by -18

c=1.5, making 2c+12t=105 become

2(1.5)+12t=105

12t=102

t=8.5

So each chair costs $1.50 and each table costs $8.50
