So

a be first term and d be common difference

  • a+a+2d+a+4d+a+6d+a+9d=17
  • 5a+21d=17--(1)

And

  • a+d+a+3d+a+5d+a+7d+a+9d=15
  • 5a+25d=15--(2)

Eq(1)-Eq(2)

  • -4d=-2
  • d=1/2

Put in second one

  • 5a+25d=15
  • a+5d=3
  • a+5/2=15
  • a=15-5/2
  • a=25/2

Question:

James has 14,500g of sand in his sandbox. He brings home another 7,400g of sand from the beach to add to his sandbox. How many kilograms of sand does James have in his sandbox now?

Answer:

The quantity of sandbox James has is 21.9kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial quantity of sandbox = 14,500 g

Additional quantity = 7,400 g

Required

Total quantity of sandbox in kg

Tp get the total quantity of sandbox, we simply add in the initial and additional quantity of sandbox together;

This is represented mathematically as follows;

Total = Initial Quantity + Additional Quantity

Total = 14,500 g + 7,400 g

Total = 21,900 g

But the question says the answer should be in kg

1000 g is equivalent to 1 kg

21,900 g will be equivalent to \frac{21,900}{1,000} kg

21,900g = \frac{21,900}{1,000} kg

21,900g = 21.9 kg

Hence, the quantity of sandbox James has is 21.9kg
