A) the starting point is in quadrant Q because the x-value is negative, while the y-value is positive. The finishing point is in quadrant S because the x-value is positive, while the y-value is negative.
B) The points are connected by a straight line, so you don't have to wander off. By the way, the checkpoint is in Quadrant P.
Answer:
There were 3 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Derive the first expression
a+c=10...equation 1
where;
a=number of adults
c=number of children
And total number of people=10
Step 2: Derive the second expression;
Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)
where;
Total cost of tickets=$186.50
price per child ticket=$15.95
price per adult ticket=$24.95
number of children=c
number of adults=a
replacing;
(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2
Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5
-
24.95(a+c=10)
(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)
-9 c=-63
c=-63/-9
c=7
replace the value for c in equation 1
a+c=10
a+7=10
a=10-7
a=3

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: it would take 20 weeks before the amount in both accounts would be the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of weeks that it will take either Ruben and Shawna to have the same amount of money in their account.
Let y represent the total amount that would be in Shawna's account after x weeks
Let z represent the total amount that would be in Ruben's account after x weeks
Shawna has $750 in the bank. She deposits $37.50 each week. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be
y = 37.5x + 750
Ruben has $850 in the bank. He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 every Monday,and he spends about $70.25 each week.. This means that the total amount after x weeks would be
z = 850 + 102.75x - 70.25x
z = 850 + 32.5x
To determine the number of weeks before the amount in both accounts will becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes
37.5x + 750= 850 + 32.5x
37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750
5x = 100
x = 100/5 = 20
A geometric series is written as 
, where 
is the first term of the series and 
is the common ratio.
In other words, to compute the next term in the series you have to multiply the previous one by .
Since we know that the first time is 6 (but we don't know the common ratio), the first terms are
.
Let's use the other information, since the last term is 
, we know that 
, otherwise the terms would be bigger and bigger.
The information about the sum tells us that
We have a formula to compute the sum of the powers of a certain variable, namely
So, the equation becomes
The only integer solution to this expression is 
.
If you want to check the result, we have
and the last term is
