Answer:
there are 12 sections
here is how to do it:
2 8
_ = _
3 x
so you cross multiply
8 x 3 = 2x
24=2x
12=x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b x 5 = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
This is one of the many correct answers. The reason why is because it shows that the variable is correct. And if you didn’t know what the variable was you could just divide 30 / 5.
The explicit formula for arithmetic sequence is:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
a=first term
d=common difference
given:
a3=22
a(17)=-20
substituting this in our equation we get:
22=a+(3-1)d
22=a+2d
a=22-2d........i
also:
-20=a+(17-1)d
-20=a+16d.....ii
but substituting i in ii we get:
-20=22-2d+16d
-20-22=14d
-42=14d
d=-3
but:
a=22-2d
a=22-2(-3)
a=28
thus the formula will be:
an=28-3(n-1)
thus the first term will be 28
the 2nd term will be:
a2=28-3(2-1)
a2=25
the 3rd term will be:
a3=28-3(3-1)
a3=28-6
a3=22
a4=28-3(4-1)
a4=28-9
a4=15
a5=28-3(5-1)
a5=28-3(4)
a5=28-12
a5=15
2x2x5 is the prime factorization
