Answer:

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = $a_{n}$ - $a_{n-1}$

Given

$a_{n}$ = 5n - 3

Generate the first 2 terms of the sequence by substituting n = 1, n = 2

a₁ = 5(1) - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2

a₂ = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

d = 7 - 2 = 5

The variable Z is directly proportional to X. when X is 15, Z has the value of 45. what is the value of Z when X=23

IrinaVladis [17]

$If\ Z\ is\ directly\ proportional\ to\ X\ then\ \frac{Z}{X}=const.\\------------------------\\X=15\ and\ Z=45\\\\X=23\ and\ Z=?\\\\\frac{Z}{23}=\frac{45}{15}\to\frac{Z}{23}=3\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 23\\\\\huge\boxed{Z=69}$

Rida and Elisa are each paid by the hour rida worked 5 1/2 hours and earned $77 Elisa worked 3 3/4 hours and $60 whose hourly ra

allochka39001 [22]

Rida:
5 1/2 :77
5.5 : 77
Divide both sides by 5.5 to get $/hour:
1:14

Elisa:
3 3/4:60
3.75:60
Divide both sides by 3.75 to get $/hour:
1:16

16 is bigger than 14 so Elisa earns more.
