What you have to do first is put them both into improper fractions first.  4 1/6 would be 4 time 6 plus 1 which equals 25/6. Next 1 5/6 would be 1 times 6 plus 5 which equals 11/6.  Next what you have to do is subtract 25-6 which equals 19. Next you put 19/6.  Two ways to answer is to leave it improper or as a mix number. Answer for improper fraction is 19/6. The other way for a mix number is 3 1/6.

Well if u make it a improper fraction it would be Dan:25/6 and Omar :11/6 and 25 minus 11 is 14/6 so 2 4/6 simplified into 2 2/3 so you're answer is 2 2/3

Given a term and the common difference, find the explicit formula.<br> 8. a(19) = 135<br> d = 15
Rasek [7]

The explicit formula is a(n) = 15(n – 10)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, a term a(19) = 135 and common difference d = 15

We have to find the explicit formula.

Now, we know that, a(n) = a + (n – 1)d where a(n) is nth term, a is first term, d is common difference,

So, for a(19)  

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow a(19)=a+(19-1) 15} \\\\ {\rightarrow 135=a+18 \times 15} \\\\ {\rightarrow a=135-270} \\\\ {\rightarrow a=-135}\end{array}

Now, we know that, an explicit formula is an expression for finding the nth term,  

So, in our problem, expression for finding nth term is a + (n – 1)d  

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow-135+(n-1) 15} \\\\ {\rightarrow-135+15 n-15} \\\\ {\rightarrow 15 n-150} \\\\ {\rightarrow 15(n-10)}\end{array}

Hence, the explicit formula is a(n) = 15(n – 10).

3(4x+2)-6x=5x-5(2+x) please solve show your work do not solve for x​
pshichka [43]

Answer:

  • simplifies to 6x+6=-10
  • x = -8/3 = -2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x+2)-6x=5x-5(2+x)

12x +6 -6x = 5x -10 -5x . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property

6x +6 = -10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

x +1 = -10/6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

x = -1 - 5/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -1

x = -8/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Use three different values of n to demonstrate that 2n + 3n is equivalent to 5n.
GarryVolchara [31]
 n can be 0 so 2(0) +3(0) = 0 now lets go up by one so 2(1) +3(1)= 5 now we will go up another number so lets go for 2(2)= 10 so  we figured out that 2(1) +3(1) is  5 so n equals 1

Use Lagrange multipliers to solve the following exercise. A home improvement contractor is painting the walls and ceiling of a r
mash [69]

Answer:

Let the width of the garden =x meter

Then length=(x+4) meter

Half perimeter =36 m

So perimeter of garden =(2×36)=72 meters

According to the question

⇒2(l+b)=72

⇒2(x+x+4)=72

⇒2x+2x+4=74⇒4x=64⇒x=16 meters

Hence,the width of the garden =16 meters

The length of the garden =(16+4)=20 meters

5284 Ib = ________ tn ________ Ib. show your work
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

2 tons and 1824 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Ton= 2,000 pounds

We know that 2,000 will go into 5824 twice, resulting in 4,000. Subtract 4,000 from 5,284, and you will have an answer of 1284. 1,284 does not go into a ton, therefore you have a remainder of 1,284 pounds.
