Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Harpreet        = x + 3

Sukhpreet     = x

Komalpreet   = 2*(x + 3)

Average Age = 15

Equation

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15                  Multiply both sides by 3

Solution

3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3         Combine

 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ]       =   45             Remove the brackets

x + 3 + x + 2x + 6                 =   45             Combine like terms

4x + 9 = 45                                                 Subtract 9 from both sides

4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9                                       Combine

4x = 36                                                         Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Answer

Harpreet is  x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

18, 26, 34, 42, find the 52nd term and the explicit formula
daser333 [38]
We have 26 - 18 = 8; 34 - 26 = 8; 42 - 34 = 8; (an arithmetic progression)
We use the formula an = a1 + (n-1)x8 (the explicit formula)
So, an = 18 + (n-1)x8 ;
Then, an = 8n + 10;
Finally, a52 =  8x52 + 10 = 426 (the 52nd term);
