Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the formula for an arithmetic sequence which will be:
a + (n - 1)d
where a = unknown
n = 6
d = 4
We then slot them into the formula
a + (6 - 1)4 = 12
a + 5(4) = 12
a + 20 = 12
a = 12 - 20
a = -8
The 6 numbers are
1st term = -8
2nd term = -8 + 4 = -4
3rd term = -4 + 4 = 0
4th term = 0 + 4 = 4
5th term = 4 + 4 = 8
6th term = 8 + 4 = 12
Step 1. Convert 3 1/3 to improper fraction.
- 3 * 3 + 1/3 ÷ 9
Step 2. Simplify 3 * 3 to 9
-9 + 1/3 ÷ 9
Step 3. Simplify 9 + 1 to 10
-10/3 ÷ 9
Step 4. Use this rule: a ÷ b/c = a * c/b
-10/3 * 1/9
Step 5. Use this rule: a/b * c/d = ac/bd
-10 * 1/3 * 9
Step 6. Simplify 10 * 1 to 10
-10/3 * 9
Step 7. Simplify 3 * 9 to 27
-10/27
This is how I'd solve it:
bench = x x+3x=600
table = 3x 4x=600
x=150
The bench costs <u>$150</u> and the table costs <u>$450</u>; combined, they cost $600, so it's correct. I hope this helps you!
