A6 = -8
a15= -62

There are (15 - 6) terms in between, therefore 9 terms in between.
-8 to -62 ... there is a difference of 54
54 ÷ 9 = 6
Therefore it gets -6 each term.
a6 = -8, a7= -14, a8 = -20 ......

That's an arithmetic sequence. To find the rule of the sequence, we need to find the first term (a₁) and the difference of the sequence (d)

Make an equation system based on what are given by the question.
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)

a₆ = a₁ + d(6 - 1) = -8
a₆ = a₁ + 5d = -8 (first equation)

a₁₅ = a₁ + d(15 - 1) = -62
a₁₅ = a₁ + 14d = -62 (second equation)

Solve the equation to find the value of a₁ and d
Using elimination method, find the value of d from first equation and second equation
a₁ + 14d = -62
a₁ +  5d =   -8
-------------------- -   (substract)
        9d = -54
          d = -54/9
          d = -6

Using subtitution method, find the value of a₁. Subtitute d with -6 from the first equation.
a₁ + 5d = -8
a₁ + 5(-6) = -8
a₁ - 30 = -8
a₁ = -8 + 30
a₁ = 22

Determine the rule of the sequence
General rule for arithmetic sequence is
an = a + d(n - 1)

Now input the value of a₁ and d to the general rule, then simpllify.
an = a + d(n - 1)
an = 22 + -6(n - 1)
an = 22 -6n + 6
an = 28 - 6n

The rule of the sequence is 28 - 6n

Answer:

8: 50 hours

9: 6 inches

10: 43 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I couldn't see the entirety of 7 because some of the page was folded, so I didn't answer it.

8: Make them equations of y=12x+450 and y=21x. Since both equal y, set them equal to each other so 21x=12x+450. Subtract 12x from both sides to get 9x=450. Divide by 9 on both sides to get 50.

9: The length equals 3w-6 and the width is just w. The perimeter would equal 2w+2(3w-6) which when factored is 2w+6w-12. Simplify to 8w-12. If P=8w-12 and we know P=36, then set the two equations equal to each other so that 8w-12=36. Add 12 to both sides to get 8w=48. Then divide both sides by 8 to get a final answer of w=6.

10. P=x+5x+8+4x-7. Simplify that to P=10x+1. We know that P=71, so set the two equations equal to each other to get 71=10x+1. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 70=10x. Divide both sides by 10 and x=7. Now substitute x in each side of the triangle and we get 7, (4*7-7), and (5*7+8). Solve all of those to get sides of 7, 21, and 43. The question asks what is the length of the longest side, so the answer would be 43.

Answer:

KR

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can see the right angle and the 30 degrees. Those are the same, so we can flip the triangle on the right to match the one on the left. The line that is similar is KR.

The average American consumes about 20 gallons of ice cream in one year. At this rate, how many liters of ice cream will 50 Amer
love history [14]
1 year has around 52.1429 weeks
We are given that one American consumes around 20 gallons of ice cream in a year. This means that the consumption is 20 gallons in 52.1429 weeks.
Now, first we will calculate the amount consumed by 1 American in one week using cross multiplication as follows:
consumption per week = (1*20) / (52.1429) = 0.38356 gallons

Now, to know the consumption of 50 Americans in one week, we will simply multiply the consumption of one American by 50 as follows:
consumption of 50 Americans = 0.38356 * 50 = 19.18 gallons/week
