Answer:

First number is -2.5

Second number 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.

To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2

Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.

To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10

4x - 3y = 2

2x + 3y =10

4x - 2x = 2x

2x = -5

x= -2.5

The first number is -2.5

By using Substitution

2x + 3y = 10

2(-2.5) + 3y = 10

-5 + 3y = 10

3y = 10 +5

3y =15

y = 5

The second number is 5

....To check my answer

-5 + 15 = 10

Find the 10th term of geometric sequence 3,15,75,375
Bess [88]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the next term is a constant times the previous term. This constant is determined by dividing the second term by the first, here giving 5. The remaining terms are checked to see that each is 5 times the previous. 75 is 15×5, 375 is 75×5.


Alternately, the nth term is first term times k^(n-1).

Here, that's 3×5^(10-1), 3×5^9=5859375

If 2a/4=b/4 and b≠0, what does 5b equal in terms of a?
dedylja [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

you must have made a typo here.

none of the answer options are correct for the given problem.

let me just show you what you told me, and how I can solve at least this :

2a/4 = b/4

this simply means (multiply both sides by 4) :

2a = b

so, 5b is then (multiplying both sides by 5) :

5×2a = 5b

10a = 5b

but again, "10a" is not among the offered answers.

so, I don't know if you made a mistake with the basic problem or with the answer options.
