X = grams of 4% cream

0.04x + 0.02(30) = 0.03(30+x)
0.04x + 0.6 = 0.9 + 0.03x
0.04x - 0.03x = 0.9 - 0.6
0.01x = 0.3
x = 0.3/0.01
x = 30 grams

3% concentration is exactly inbetween 2%-4% so it makes sense that a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of both would give 3% concentration.

Lester played a told of 40 games this past year. He won 65% of the time he played. How many games did he lose?
Scrat [10]
"of" means multiply
So 65% * 40
65% is the same as 0.65 (% means divide by 100).
0.65 * 40 = 26
26 games

What is the general rule for the arithmetic sequence? 15, 12, 9, 6, … A. 3n – 18 B. 6(3 – n) C. 3n + 12 D. 18 – 3n
slavikrds [6]
A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference 
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n
