Answer:
Sydney is 44 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Make a system of equations
</u>
d = s - 15
<em>d + s = 73
</em>
<u>Step 2: Plug in s - 15 for d in the second equation and solve
</u>
s - 15 + s = 73
2s - 15 = 73 + 15
2s / 2= 88 / 2
<em>s = 44
</em>
Answer: Sydney is 44 years old
Okay. For these types of problems, you must do order of operations (PEMDAS). Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. Mind you that you do these steps from left to right, and multiplication and division is done from left to right. Same thing with addition and subtraction. With that being said, here are your answers if you do the expressions correctly.
1. 12
2. 106
3. 42
Answer:
= 7n - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 3 and d = a₂ - a₁ = 10 - 3 = 7 , thus
= 3 + 7(n - 1) = 3 + 7n - 7 = 7n - 4
