Answer:

4n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffrence bweetween each number, 3 and -1, -1 and -5, -5 and -9 is 4

4n

find the closest numbers

4*1=4

4*0=0

4*-1=-4

4*-2=-8

now we figure out how to make these numbers into our terms of this sequence

4n-1

4*1-1=3

4*0-1=-1

4*-1-1=-3

4*-2-1=-9

so the nth term is 4n-1

Chase has 3 gallons of a solution that is 30% antifeeze that he wants to use to winterize his car. How much pure antifreeze shou
makvit [3.9K]

Let  x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.

There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then

3 gallons - 100%,

a gallons - 30%,

where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.

Mathematically,

\dfrac{3}{a}=\dfrac{100}{30},\\ \\a=\dfrac{3\cdot 30}{100}=0.9\ gallons.

Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.

x+3 gallons - 100%,

x+0.9 - 65%

or

\dfrac{x+3}{x+0.9}=\dfrac{100}{65},\\ \\65(x+3)=100(x+0.9),\\ \\65x+195=100x+90,\\ \\35x=105,\\ \\x=3\ gallons.

Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.
