The value of a₃₁ of the arithmetic sequence exists 77.4.

<h3>How to find the value of a₃₁ of the arithmetic sequence?</h3>

Given: a₅ = 12.4 and a₉ = : 22.4

For the arithmetic sequence a₁, a₂, a₃, ..., the n-th term exists

where d = common difference

a₅ = 12.4,

a₁ + 4d = 12.4 .........(1)

Because a₉ = 22.4,

a₁ + 8d = 22.4 .........(2)

Subtract (1) from (2), we get

a₁ + 8d - (a₁ + 4d) = 22.4 - 12.4

4d = 10

Dividing throughout by 4, we get

d = 2.5

From (1), we get

a₁ = 12.4 - 4 $*$ 2.5 = 2.4

a₃₁ = 2.4 + 30 $*$ 2.5 = 77.4

Therefore, the correct answer is a₃₁ = 77.4

Plz help me with this math and also explain

Step-by-step explanation:

SI = $250
Rate (R) = 12 $\sf \dfrac{1}{2}$ %
Time (t) = 4 years

$\longrightarrow \tt { SI = \dfrac{PRT}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 12\cfrac{1}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times \cfrac{25}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 25 \times 2}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 50}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 \times 100 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 25000 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { \dfrac{25000}{50} = P } \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green{ \tt { \$ \; 500 = P }}}} \\$

Therefore principal is $500.

2/7 of the balls are red.
3/5 of the balls are blue.
Rest are yellow.
Number of yellow balls = 36

Let the total number of balls be x.

→ Red balls + Blue balls + Yellow balls = Total number of balls

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{2}{7}x + \dfrac{3}{5}x + 36 = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{10x + 21x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{31x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 31x + 1260= 35x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 35x-31x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 4x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{1260 }{4}= x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \tt { 315 = x }}} \\$

Total number of balls is 315.

A/Q,

3/5 of the balls are blue.

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}(315)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} = 3(63)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green {\tt { Balls_{(Blue)} = 189 }}}} \\$

One and Two step equations Escape Room.: The teeth on this key are busted. Now they must be readjusted. Find the code.

The code for Escape Room is MCYHW.

<h3>Inequalities</h3>

Inequalities is a mathematic expression that do not present equalitiy between both sides. It is represented by symbols: <, ≤, > and ≥.

For solving this exercise, firstly, you should solve the inequalities identified by letters: H, W, M, Y and C. After that, you should relate yours anwers with the options given for the exercise.

Inequality H

$-11x-4 > -15\\ \\ -11x > -15+4\\ \\ -11x > -11\; *(-1)\\ \\ 11x < 11\\ \\ x < 1$

Therefore, you should connect H with x<1.

Inequality W

$32 > -16x\\ \\ Rewriting \\ \\ -16x < 32 \\ \\ -16x < 32\; *(-1)\\ \\ 16x > -32\\ \\ x > \frac{-32}{16} \\ \\ x > -2$

Therefore, you should connect W with x>-2.

Inequality M

$3+x\leq -9\\ \\ x\leq -9-3\\ \\ x\leq -12$

Therefore, you should connect M with x≤-12.

Inequality Y

$-7x+7\leq -56\\ \\-7x\leq -56-7\\ \\ -7x\leq -63\\ \\ -7x\leq -63\; *(-1)\\ \\ 7x\geq 63\\ \\ x\geq \frac{63}{7} \\ \\ x\geq 9$

Therefore, you should connect Y with x≥9.

Inequality C

$-20\geq -5x+15\\ \\Rewriting\\ \\ 5x+15\leq -20\\ \\ -5x\leq -20-15\\ \\ -5x\leq -35\\ \\-5x\leq -35\; *(-1)\\ \\ 5x\geq 35\\ \\ x\geq \frac{35}{5} \\ \\ x\geq 7$

Therefore, you should connect C with x≥7.

Thus, the sequence is:

M - $x\leq -12$

C - $x\geq 7$

Y- $x\geq 9$

H- $x < 1$

W- $x > -2$
