Answer:

The required formula is:

$\ a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of squares of the the first term = 4

The total number of squares of the the second term = 7

The total number of squares of the the third term = 10

so,

$a_1=4$

$a_2=7$

$a_3=10$

Finding the common difference d

$d=a_3-a_2=10-7=3$

$d=a_2-a_1=7-4=3$

As the common difference 'd' is same, it means the sequence is in arithmetic.

So

If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is $a_{1}$ and the common difference of successive members is d, then the nth term of the sequence $(a_n)$ is given by:

$\ a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Therefore, the required formula is:

$\ a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution. What amount of each solution do

xenn [34]

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Let:</em>

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = x</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = y</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Total Volume = 10 ml</em>

$\boxed{x + y = 10}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution</em>.

$2 \% x + 10 \% y = 6 \% (10)$

$2x + 10y = 6(10)$

$\boxed{x + 5y = 30}$ → <em>Equation 2</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Equation 1 - Equation 2:</em>

$( x + y ) - ( x + 5y ) = 10 - 30$

$-4y = -20$

$y = -20 \div -4$

$y = 5 \texttt{ ml}$

$\texttt{ }$

$x + y = 10$

$x + 5 = 10$

$x = 5 \texttt{ ml}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

<em>Volumes of 2% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

<em>Volumes of 10% Solution = </em><em>5 ml</em>

$\texttt{ }$

Paul went on a bike ride of 30 miles. He realized that if he had gone 8 mph faster, he would have arrived 12 hours sooner. How f

lara [203]

Answer: He actually rode 2 miles per hour on his trip

Step-by-step explanation: Maybe unconventional, but express the time it took, then figure the speed.

Time = distance /speed t will represent time, s is the speed: t = 30/s Use the rime it would have taken at the higher speed to create an equation:

t-12 = 30/s+8 replace the y with the 30/s

30/s -12 = 30/s+8

(s)(30/s -12 ) = (s)(30/s+8 ) Cross multiply to cancel denominators

(s-8)(30 -12s) = (s-8)(30s/s+8 ) ==> 30s +240 -12s² -96s =30s Simplify:

(-1)(-12s² -96s +240 ) =0 ==> 12s² +96s -240 divide all by 12

s² + 8s -20 = 0 Factor and solve for s

(s +10)(s -2) =0 s-2=0 S= 2

Proof:

30/2 = 15 hours for original trip at 2mph,

increase speed by 8mph 2 + 8 = 10mph

30 miles at 10mph takes 3 hours; that is 12 hours less than his actual trip.

The figure is made from squares of different sizes.Find the area of A if the side of each of the two indentical smallest square

Temka [501]

Answer:

The area of square A is 256 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The four sides of a square are equal in length</em>
<em>Area of a square = side × side</em>

In the given figure

∵ The sides of the square E = 2 cm each

∵ The sides of the square F = 2 cm each

∵ The side of square D is the sum of the sides of squares E and F

∴ The sides of the square D = 2 + 2 = 4 cm each

∵ The side of square C is the sum of the sides of squares E and D

∴ The sides of square C = 2 + 4 = 6 cm each

∵ The side of square B is the sum of the sides of squares C, E, and F

∴ The sides of square B = 6 + 2 + 2= 10 cm each

∵ The side of square A is the sum of the sides of squares B, F, and D

∴ The sides of square A = 10 + 2 + 4= 16 cm each

∵ Area of square A = side × side

∴ Area of square A = 16 × 16

∴ Area of square A = 256 cm²

∴ The area of square A is 256 cm²
