Answer:
31st term = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
204, 200,196,...
Find:
31st term
Computation:
204, 200,196,...
First term a = 204
Difference d = a3 - a2
Difference d = 196 - 200
Difference d = -4
An = a + (n-1)d
A31 = 204 + (31-1)(-4)
A31 = 204 - 120
A31 = 84
Answer:
Part A:
x + y = 80
x + 20 = y
Part B:
Pam spends 30 minutes practicing math every day.
Part C:
It is not possible for Pam to have spent 60 minutes practicing dance because this means she must have practiced math for 40 minutes (60 - 20 = 40). This would total out to 100 minutes of total practice, not 80 minutes. Therefore, this is impossible.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
"She spends 80 minutes every day practicing dance and math."
x + y = 80
"She dances for 20 minutes longer than she works on math."
x + 20 = y
Part B:
Solve for x:
x + 20 = y
Isolate variable x:
x = y - 20
Plug in this new value for the first equation:
y - 20 + y = 80
Combine like terms:
2y - 20 = 80
Isolate variable y:
2y = 100
y = 50
Plug in the new value of y into any equation:
x + 50 = 80
Isolate variable x:
x = 30
Part C:
x + 20 = y
x + 20 = 60
x = 40
x + y = 80
40 + 60 = 80
100 = 80
Impossible.
Answer: Draw a line through the two points (0,2) and (3,3). See the attached image below.
How did I get these two points? The first point comes from the fact that "at the start, the height is 2 inches" meaning that x = 0 hours and y = 2 inches pair up together. This is show as point A. This is the y intercept as this is the location where the blue graph crosses the vertical y axis.
Point B is found by moving 1 unit up from point A and 3 units to the right to land on (3,3). So we have x = 3 hours and y = 3 inches pair up together.
Note: the slope is rise/run = 1/3 helping us determine the unit rate or speed in which the water is rising (ie the water is rising one-third of an inch per hour)
ANSWER:
x=4 and y= -1
Explanation:
Add these equations to eliminate y:
4x=6
Then solve 4x =16 for x:
4x=16
4x/4 = 16/4 (divide both sides by 4)
x=4
Now that we have found x lets plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
x-3y=7
Substitute 4 for x-3y=7:
4-3y=7
-3y+4=7 (simplify both sides of the equation)
-3y+4+ (-4) = 7+ (-4) (add -4 to both sides of the equation)
-3y = 3
-3y/-3 = 3/-3 (Divide both sides by -3)
y= -1
