Answer:

-56.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't have to much guessing because it tells us it is arithmetic which means it has a common difference.

That is a term minus it's previous will be the same.

3.5-5.8=-2.3

1.2-3.5=-2.3

-1.1-1.2=-2.3

In general:

a_n-a_{n-1}=-2.3 with a_1=5.8 if you wanted the recursive form.

You can also find the explicit form which would be more helpful for our task of finding the 28th term.

a_n=a_1+d(n-1) is the explicit form where d is the common difference and a_1 is the first term.

Inputting -2.3 for d and 5.8 for a_1:

a_n=5.8+-2.3(n-1)

Now the 28th term or a_{28} can be found by replacing n with 28:

a_{28}=5.8+-2.3(28-1)

a_{28}=5.8+-2.3(27)

a_{28}=-56.3

Can you please solve and explain how

First, it would help to simplify each side more:

Left side: 36 + 3(4x - 9) = 36 + 12x - 27 = 12x + 9

Right side: c(2x + 1) + 25 = 2cx + c + 25

Write the simplified equation:

12x + 9 = 2cx + c + 25

Usually when there is no solution, the coefficients of the variable on both sides are the same, so we can make the coefficient if x on the right side into 12:

2cx >>> 12x

Then, c must equal 6 to make this true.

The answer is choice (C).

The sum of the number is 103.the second number is 4 times the third.the third number is 5 more then the first .what are the numb
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

13, 18, 72

Step-by-step explanation:

let x-5 represent the first number, since the first number is 5 less than the third number. let x represent the third number. let 4x represent the third number, since it's four times greater than the third number.

set up an equation, and make it equal to 103:

x-5+x+4x=103

solve:

6x-5=103

6x=108

x=18

so, the third number is 18.

the first number is equal to x-5, so:

18-5=13

the second number is equal to 4x, so:

4(18)=72

so, the three numbers are 13, 18, and 72.
