We set up a proportion: 14/?= 1/5
Cross multiply: 1*?= 14*5
⇒ ?= 14*5/1= 70
1/5 of 70 is 14.
Answer: Y= 2/3x + 9
Explanation: The equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. Since it is parallel to the equation, it has the same slope (2/3x) and since b is the x intercept, b is 9.
1)Y=165000(1-0.04)^t
2)y=165000(1-0.04)^20=?? Use the calculator
Answer:
(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions
(b) Your friend is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.
So:
--- Number of questions
--- Points
Solving (a): Number of question of each type.
Make E the subject of formula in 

Substitute 36 - M for E in 


Collect Like Terms


Divide both sides by -4


Substitute 29 for M in 


Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?
It is not possible.
See explanation.
If multiple question worth 4 points each, then
would be:

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.
Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.


Subtract 116 from both sides



Make x the subject

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.
Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points
<em>Your friend is incorrect.</em>
Answer:
To find the sum of an infinite geometric series having ratios with an absolute value less than one, use the formula, S=a11−r , where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.
