Answer:

0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the second term (12) with the first term (40), and you'll get 0.3

This is correct because you get the terms in the correct order when multiplying:
(First term: 40. Common ratio: 0.3)
40 x 0.3 = 12
12 x 0.3 = 3.6

40, 12, 3.6

Which of these statements is correct?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The system of linear equations 8x - 3y = 10 and 16x - 6y = 22 has no solution is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The system of linear equations 6x - 5y = 8 and 12x - 10y = 16 has no solution.

Solve these linear equations simultaneously

Step 1 : Find y in terms of x from any one equation

6x - 5y = 8

y = 8 - 6x

-5

Step 2 : Substitute y in terms of x from step 1 in the second equation.

16x - 6y = 22

16x - 6 (8 - 6x) = 22

-5

80x - 48 + 36x = 22 x -5

94x = 43

x = 0.457

This statement is incorrect as it does have a solution.

2) The system of linear equations 7x + 2y = 6 and 14x + 4y = 16 has an infinite number of solutions.

Solve these linear equations simultaneously

Step 1 : Find y in terms of x from any one equation

7x + 2y = 6

y = 6 - 7x

Step 2 : Substitute y in terms of x from step 1 in the second equation.

14x + 4y = 16

14x + 4(6 - 7x) = 16

14x + 12 - 14x = 16

0 ≠ 4

This statement is not true as there are no solutions.

3) The system of linear equations 8x - 3y = 10 and 16x - 6y = 22 has no solution.

Solve these linear equations simultaneously

Step 1 : Find x in terms of y from any one equation

8x - 3y = 10

x = 10 + 3y

Step 2 : Substitute x in terms of y from step 1 in the second equation.

16x - 6y = 22

16(10 + 3y) - 6y = 22

20 + 6y - 6y = 2

0 ≠ -18

This statement is true because there are no solutions

4) The system of linear equations 9x + 6y = 14 and 18x + 12y = 26 has an infinite number of solutions.

Solve these linear equations simultaneously

Step 1 : Find x in terms of y from any one equation

9x + 6y = 14

x = 14 - 6y

Step 2 : Substitute x in terms of y from step 1 in the second equation.

18x + 12y = 26

18 (14 - 6y) + 12y = 26

8 - 12y + 12y = 26

0 ≠ 18

This statement is incorrect because there are no solutions. It does not have infinite number of solutions.

Joe wants to rent an apartment with an initial monthly rent of $1,400. He has been told that the landlord raises the rent 1.25%

nadya68 [22]

Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = $1,400

r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125

n = 4 years

The 4th term(year), T4 is

T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)

T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3

T4 = $1453.16
