The first binomial can have an x factored out, resulting in (x-7) and the second binomial can have a 7 factored out, resulting in (x+3)
1quart=2pints=4cups
300people=300cups
300cups=xquarts
4 cups =1 quart
300/4=75
300cups=75quarts
75 quarts needed
1gallon=4quarts
75/4=18.75gallons
or 37.5 times of their recepie
answer is 18.75 gallons or 75 quarts or 37.5 times of their original recipe<span />
5 of Anne’s pens still have ink. Since 23 of the 28 pens ran out, 5 pens are still good to write with.
Hope this helped!
Standard formula for arithmetic sequence:
an = a0 + d(n-1)
if we use the two terms given, setting a12 as starting term and a45 as the end term an.
170 = 38 + 33d
170 - 38 = 33d
132 = 33d
132/33 = d
This is the common difference, use it to find the first term.
38 = a0 + (132/33)(12-1)
38 = a0 + (132/33)(11)
38 = a0 + 132/3
38 - 132/3 = a0
38 - 44 = a0
-6 = a0
The starting term is -6
