Answer:

17b = w

Step-by-step explanation:

17 times the number of bottles = the number of ounces of water

Then you just plug in the numbers you are given

17(51) = w

17 x 51 = 867

51 bottles of water holds 867 ounces

17b = (51)

divide both sides by 17

51/17 = 3

b = 3

It would take 3 bottles of water to hold 51 ounces

You want to rent a car for the day.Prestige car rentals charges $47 plus $0.07 per mile to rent a midsize vehicle . Gateway Auto

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

240 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Charges offered by Prestige car rentals for renting a midsize vehicle:

Fixed charges = $47

Per mile charges for renting a midsize vehicle = $0.07

Charges offered by Gateway Auto for renting a midsize vehicle:

Fixed charges = $35

Per mile charges for renting a midsize vehicle = $0.12

To find:

Number of miles for which both the companies charge the same price?

Solution:

Let the number of miles for which both the companies will charge the same price = $x$ miles

Charges for one mile by Prestige car rentals = $0.07

Charges for $x$ miles by Prestige car rentals = $0.07 $x$

Total charges by Prestige Car rentals = $47 + $0.07 $x$

Charges for one mile by Gateway Auto = $0.12

Charges for $x$ miles by Gateway Auto = $0.12 $x$

Total charges by Gateway Auto = $35 + $0.12 $x$

As per question statement, the charges are same:

$\$47 + \$0.07x = \$35 + \$0.12x\\\Rightarrow 12=0.05x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1200}{5}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x=240\ miles}$

Find S12 for geometric series: (-7.5) + 15 + (-30) + ...

kolezko [41]

Answer:

S12 for geometric series: (-7.5) + 15 + (-30) + ... would be: 10237.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence to find the sum up-to 12 terms

$(-7.5) + 15 + (-30) + ...$

As we know that

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$\frac{15}{\left(-7.5\right)}=-2,\:\quad \frac{\left(-30\right)}{15}=-2$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=-2$

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$a_1=\left(-7.5\right)$

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$a_n=\left(-7.5\right)\left(-2\right)^{n-1}$

$a_n=-\left(-2\right)^{n-1}\cdot \:7.5$

$\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}$

$a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}$

$n=12,\:\spacea_1=\left(-7.5\right),\:\spacer=-2$

$=\left(-7.5\right)\frac{1-\left(-2\right)^{12}}{1-\left(-2\right)}$

$=-7.5\cdot \frac{1-\left(-2\right)^{12}}{1+2}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c}$

$=-\frac{-30712.5}{1+2}$ ∵ $\left(1-\left(-2\right)^{12}\right)\cdot \:7.5=-30712.5$

$=-\frac{-30712.5}{3}$

$=\frac{30712.5}{3}$

$=10237.5$

Thus, S12 for geometric series: (-7.5) + 15 + (-30) + ... would be: 10237.5
