Answer:

12 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

All problems were of equal value

Let x be the number of problems in the test

We apply a rule of three

x -------------------------------  100%

(x-10) --------------------------- 17%

(x-10)*100%/(x)   = 17%

(x-10)/(x)   = 0.17

(x-10)   = 0.17*x

0.83*x = 10

x = 12.05

x = 12 problems

Find an explicit formula for the following sequence, an which starts with a1=2/3. 2/3,3/4,4/5,5/6,…
Flura [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=2/3

sequence is 2/3,3/4,4/5,...

for numerator a1=2

d=3-2=1

numerator of nth term=a1+(n-1)d=2+(n-1)×1=2+n-1=n+1

denominator = 1 more than numerator=n+1+1=n+2

so an=(n+1)/(n+2)

or for denominator a1=3,d=4-3=1

denominator of nth term=3+(n-1)×1=3+n-1=n+2

an=(n+1)/(n+2)

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

9x - 3y = - 54 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- 3y = - 9x - 54 ( divide all terms by 0 3 )

y = 3x + 18 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

slope of parallel line is 3
