Answer:

  • 1440

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The equations to reflect the given:</u>

  • x + y = 2640
  • x = y + 20% ⇒ x = 1.2y

<u>Substitute the value of x into first equation and solve for y:</u>

  • 1.2y + y = 2640
  • 2.2y = 2640
  • y = 2640/2.2
  • y = 1200

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 2640 - 1200 = 1440

Answer:

I do not understand she question do you mean the sum of their income is 2640

if so, then the answer is 440 to be x income

Step-by-step explanation:

x income = 20% or 1/5 of y income

y income = 5 of x income

we know that the sum of their income = 2640

which means that

x + y = 2640 =

1/5y + y = 2640

6y/5 = 2640

cross multiply to give us

6y = 5(2640)

6y = 13200

divide through by 6 to give us,

6y/6 = 13200/6

y = 2200

since we know that x income is 20% y income,

therefore, x income =

20/100 * 2200

= 440

therefore,

x income = 440

y income = 2200

I=$720, P=$1000, r=9%
UNO [17]
I = PRT

720 = (1,000)(0.09)(t)
720 = 90(t)
720/90 = t
8 = t  or t = 8

I am not sure if it is terms  of months or years but 8 is the answer. hope it helps :)

Question 2 of 5
AlekseyPX

Given:

The different recursive formulae.

To find:

The explicit formulae for the given recursive formulae.

Solution:

The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is f(n)=f(n-1)+d, f(1)=a,n\geq 2 and the explicit formula is f(n)=a+(n-1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is f(n)=rf(n-1), f(1)=a,n\geq 2 and the explicit formula is f(n)=ar^{n-1}, where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The first recursive formula is:

f(1)=5

f(n)=f(n-1)+5 for n\geq 2.

It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 5. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

f(n)=5+(n-1)(5)

f(n)=5+5(n-1)

Therefore, the correct option is A, i.e., f(n)=5+5(n-1).

The second recursive formula is:

f(1)=5

f(n)=3f(n-1) for n\geq 2.

It is the recursive formula of a geometric sequence with first term 5 and common ratio 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}

Therefore, the correct option is F, i.e., f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}.

The third recursive formula is:

f(1)=5

f(n)=f(n-1)+3 for n\geq 2.

It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

f(n)=5+(n-1)(3)

f(n)=5+3(n-1)

Therefore, the correct option is D, i.e., f(n)=5+3(n-1).

How do you create and solve equations in one variable given a real–world situation?
WINSTONCH [101]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) first eliminate constant(number without variable) you eliminate constant by doing the inverse operation(if constant is being added, then subtract)(if constant is being subtracted, then add it)

ex: if   x+9=32

subtract 9 from both sides to get rid of it

x=23

2) if there is another constant but this constant is being multiplied/divided then do the opposite operation to remove it

you could multiply by 3 on both sides:

x+9=69

x=60
