Answer:

  6.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of distances is a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio (1 +10%) = 1.10. The sum of 7 terms of the sequence is ...

  S7 = a1·(r^7 -1)/(r -1)

  56.923 = a1·(1.1^7 -1)/(1.1 -1)

  5.6923 = a1·0.9487171

Dividing by the coefficient of a1 gives its value:

  5.6923/0.9487171 ≈ 5.999997 ≈ 6.000

The hiker traveled 6.0 miles on the first day.

Raymond and Shauna must convince at least 5 more city council member. Because if every 2/6 members agree with the idea, then there would be 8 people out 24 that already agree with the idea. So if you have already 8 members then to make 13, you just need 5 (8 + 5=13) more people to 13.

Tell me all the properties of algebra
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  • Commutative Property of Addition.-  
  • 2 + 3 = 3 + 2
  •  Commutative Property of Multiplication.- ex. 5 × 7 = 7 × 5  
  • Associative Property of Addition.- ex.(2 + 3) + 6 = 2 + (3 + 6)  
  • Associative Property of Multiplication.- ex. (7 × 3) × 10 = 7 × (3 × 10)
  • Distributive Properties of Addition Over Multiplication- ex. 2 × (2 + 8) = 2 × 2 + 2 × 8  
  • (2 + 8) × 10 = 2 × 10 + 8 × 10
  • The reciprocal of a non zero real number a is 1/a.- ex. reciprocal of 5 is 1/5 and 5 × (1/5) = 1
