Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x – 1) – 2(2x + 1) = 8(x – 1)

Distribute

3x-3 -4x-2 = 8x-8

Combine like terms

-x-5 = 8x-8

Add x to each side

-x+x-5 =8x+x -8

-5 = 9x-8

Add 8 to each side

-5+8 = 9x-8+8

3 = 9x

Divide by 9

3/9 =9x/9

1/3 =x

A survey was given to 339 people asking whether people like dogs and/or cats.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $C$ be the set of people who like cats and $D$ the set of people who like dogs. Under the cardinality theorem you have

n(CUD) = n(C) + n(D) - n(CnD)[/tex], isolating the $(C$ ∩ $(D$ , you have n $(C$ ∩ $(D$ = n(C) + n(D) - $(C$ ∪ $.As a total of 339 individuals, and 88 are those who do not like cats or dogs, then 251 of them are those who like cats or dogs. Then, n[tex](C$ ∩ $(D$ $= 190 +141 -251 = 80$

For an arithmetic sequence, a35=57. If the common difference is 5. Find a1 and the sum of the first 61 terms.

Flauer [41]

$\displaystyle\bf\\a_{35}=57\\r=5\\----\\a_1=?\\S_{61}=?\\----\\Solve:\\1)\\a_1=a_{35}-(35-1)\times r=57-34\times 5=57-170=-113\\\boxed{\bf a_1=-113}\\\\$

$\displaystyle\bf\\2)\\A_{61}=a_1+(61-1)\times r=-113+60\times5=-113+300=187\\\\S_{61}=(-113)+(-108)+(-103)+...+(-8)+(-3)+2+7+12+...+187\\\\S_{61}=SA+SB\\\\SA=(-113)+(-108)+(-103)+...+(-8)+(-3)=-(3+8+103+108+113)\\\\n=\frac{113-8}{5}+1=\frac{105}{5}+1=21+1=22~terms\\SA=-\Big( \frac{n(113+3)}{2} \Big)=-\Big( \frac{22\times116}{2} \Big)=-11\times116 =-1276$

$\displaystyle\bf\\SB=2+7+12+...+187\\\\n=\frac{187-2}{5}+1=\frac{185}{5}+1=37+1=38~terms\\\\SB=\frac{n(187+2)}{2}=\frac{38\times189}{2}=19\times189=3591\\\\S_{61}=SA+SB=-1276+3591=2315\\\\\boxed{\bf S_{61}=2315}$
