Answer:
The third term is -25.
Step-by-step expanation:
d(1)=3
From this equation, we know the first term is 3.
d(n)=d(n−1)−14
This looks like a recursive formula. It is used to find the next term.
n is the variable for the term number that you are solving for.
d(n-1) is the term value before the what you are looking for.
To find the 2nd term, use the formula and substitute values known:
d(n)= d(n−1)−14
d(2) = d(2-1) - 14
d(2) = d(1) - 14
We know d(1)=3
d(2) = 3 - 14
d(2) = -11
Find the third term using the same method:
d(n) = d(n−1)−14
d(3) = d(3−1)−14
d(3) = d(2)−14
d(3) = -11 - 14
d(3) = -25
Answer:
339 bricks.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the weight of each brick and what the truck can support. Therefore what we must do is pass all to the same unit of measurement to calculate the quantity of bricks.
In this case we will pass everything to pounds.
We have that a 1 pound is 16 ounces, therefore 14 would be:
14 ounces * 1 pound / 16 ounces = 0.875 pounds
In addition we have that 1 ton is 2204.62 pounds, therefore 3/4 would be:
3/4 ton * 2204.62 pounds / 1 ton = 1653.467 pounds
Therefore, in total the brick weighs 4,875 pounds (4 + 0.875) and the truck can support 1653,467 pounds, the number of bricks would be:
1653.467 / 4.875 = 339.17
In other words, it can support about 339 bricks.
Answer: she scored 69 points on the second test.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of points that she scored in the first test.
Let y represent the number of points that she scored in the second test.
If her mean score was 75, it means that
(x + y)/2 = 75
x + y = 75 × 2
x + y = 150- - - - - - - - - 1
If she scored 12 points more on the first test than the second test, it means that
x = y + 12
Substituting x = y + 12 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 12 + y = 150
2y + 12 = 150
2y = 150 - 12
2y = 138
y = 138/2
y = 69
Answer:
$5.44
Step-by-step explanation:
$1.75 + $1.26 + $1.08 + $0.52 = $4.56
$10.00 - $4.56 = $5.44
Answer:
18 is 3 more than 9- false
18 is 3 times as much as 6 - true
9 is 3 times as much as 27- false
9 is 3 more than 6 - true
