Answer:
x= y^2 -6y
Step-by-step explanation:
4:1/6 if you add all the instruments you get 120 then you divide it by six and you get 20 snare drums
Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10
Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding it.
4-(-3)=4+3=7
Answer:
Your answer is 3 quarters, 2 nickels, and 4 pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
2 quarters plus 6 nickels plus 9 pennies is equal to 89 cents. So if we subtract 75(3 quarters) we get 14 which is less than 25 therefore we must only use nickels and pennies from now on. If we take 14 and subtract 10(2 nickels) we get 4 which less than 5 leaving us only to use pennies, which one a piece so it must be 4 pennies. Hope this helps!
