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.

What is the solution of this system of linear equations? 3y = 3/2x + 6 1/2y –1/4 x = 3
Sati [7]
The answer is:  [C]:  "no solution" .
_________________________________________________________

Given:  3y = 3/2 x + 6 ; Multiply each side by "2" ; to get rid of the fraction

              2 * { 3y = 3/2 x + 6 } ;  to get:  6y = 3x + 12 

           
Given:  1/2 y –1/4 x = 3 ;  Multiply EACH SIDE by "4" ; to get rid of the fraction ;


            4 * { 1/2 y – 1/4 x = 3 } ;  to get:  2y – x = 12 ;
______________________________________________
So we have:

6y = 3x + 12 ;

2y – x = 12 ; 
__________________________________________
Multiply BOTH side of the "second equation" by "-1" ;

-1 * { 2y – x = 12 } ; 

to get :   x – 2y = -12  ;  

Now, add "2y" to each side of the equation;  
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

  x – 2y + 2y = -12 + 2y ; 

to get:  x = 2y – 12 ; 

Now, consider the "first equation" ; 

6y = 3x + 12 ; 
 
Divide EACH SIDE of this equation by "3" ; 

6y / 3 = (3x + 12) / 3 ; 

to get:  2y = x + 4 ; 

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ; 

2y/ 2  = ( x + 4) /2 ; 

to get:  y = (x + 4) / 2 ;
 
Now plug in our calculated value for "x" ; which is:   

        " x = 2y – 12 " ; for the "x" values


 y = [ (2y – 12)] + 4)] / 2 ; 

y = (2y – 8 )/ 2 

2y  = 2y  – 8 ??? ;; 

The answer is:  [C]:  "no solution" .

aleksley [76]
The answer is 12 but the way you get it is you subtract 400 from 1000 which gives you 600 then you divide 600 by 50 to get 12. So it looks like this 1000-400= 600, 600/50=12. Hope this helps. :)
