A=number of seats in section A
B=number of seats in section B
C=number of seats in section C
We can suggest this system of equations:
A+B+C=55,000
A=B+C ⇒A-B-C=0
28A+16B+12C=1,158,000
We solve this system of equations by Gauss Method.
1 1 1 55,000
1 -1 -1 0
28 16 12 1,158,000
1 1 1 55,000
0 -2 -2 -55,000 (R₂-R₁)
0 12 16 382,000 (28R₁-R₂)
1 1 1 55,000
0 -2 -2 -55,000
0 0 4 52,000 (6R₂+R₃)
Therefore:
4C=52,000
C=52,000/4
C=13,000
-2B-2(13,000)=-55,000
-2B-26,000=-55,000
-2B=-55,000+26,000
-2B=-29,000
B=-29,000 / -2
B=14,500.
A + 14,500+13,000=55,000
A+27,500=55,000
A=55,000-27,500
A=27,500.
Answer: there are 27,500 seats in section A, 14,500 seats in section B and 13,000 seats in section C.
Answer:
The slope is -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is found by putting the rise over run, which is -2/4 or -1/2
Answer:
The expression that represents the given sequence is 5+6(n-1). Option C (not labeled).
Explanation:
<u>Arithmetic Sequences</u>
In an arithmetic sequence, each term can be obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That fixed number is called the common difference.
We are given the following sequence:
5, 11, 17, 23, 29, ...
Each term is located in a position starting from n=1. Let's test each option:
A For n=1 we should have the first term (5). Substituting n=1 into the general equation: 5+6(n+1) = 5+6(1+1) = 5+12 = 17. Since the resulting term is not 5, this option is incorrect.
B For n=1, 6+5(n+1)= 6+5(2)=16. This option is incorrect.
C (not labeled) For n=1, 5+6(n-1)=5+6(1-1)=5+0=5. The first term is correct. Let's test for the second term (n=2):
5+6(2-1)=5+6=11. Correct. For n=3
5+6(3-1)=5+12=17. Correct.
We can see the terms are increasing by 6, and the given sequence is also increasing by 6. Thus, This option is correct.
D For n=1, 6+5 (n-1)=6+0=6. This option is incorrect.
So the first thing we need to do is set up an equation (using x to represent the number). Then, we'll solve it to get the answer.
Step 1: Translate the word problem into an equation
Word problem: The sum of nine and six-tenths and a number is thirteen and two-tenths.
Equation: 
+ x = 
Step 2: Isolate x by subtracting from each side
+ x - = -
Step 3: The numbers on the left cancel out, leaving x alone
x = 
Step 4: Convert the answer to decimals
x = 3.6
I think to find out you subtract 19 from 45 the answer should be 26 I think!
