Answer:[m, m+d, m+2d, - - - - -, n]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the formula for arithmetic progression is a_(n) = a_(1) + (n-1)d
Where a_(n) is the nth term of the sequence
a_(1) is the first term of the sequence
n is the number of the term like if we are talking about 7th term so the n is 7.
d is the difference between two successive terms.
For this problem we know our first term that is m, our last term that is n and our difference that is d.
For second term we will use the formula
a_(2) = m + (2-1)d
a_(2) = m + (1)d
a_(2) = m + d
Similarly,
a_(3) = m + (3-1)d
a_(3) = m + (2)d
a_(3) = m + 2d
X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie
NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60
LISA
11x + 4y= $90
STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11
-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms
(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)
-11x - 99y= -660
STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)
-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"
-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95
y= $6 per pumpkin pie
STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x
x + 9y= $60
x + 9(6)= 60
x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides
x= $6 per cherry pie
CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90
ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.
Hope this helps! :)
2 x (n - 6)
(2 x n - 2 x 6)
(2n - 2 x 6)
2n - 12
Hopefully I’m correct but I think it is 7% because 50 -43 equals 7%
