Answer:
Billy is a fly enthusiast! He has a huge glass container filled with 506 flies! One day when Billy went to feed the flies, he accidentally left the screw opened for too long, and 8 flies escaped! How many flies are left in the tank?
Answer: y= 3x - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know the slope and a set of coordinates we can insert them into the formula y=mx+b and find what b is.
y=mx+b
-1/2=3(2)+b
-1/2=6+b
-1/2-6=6-6+b
-6 1/2=b
Therefore the equation is y=3x -
The first five terms of the sequence are; 4,600, 4,550, 4,500, 4,450, 4,400 and the total predicted number of sold cars for the first year is 51,900 cars
<h3>Arithmetic sequence</h3>
- First month, a = 4,600 cars
- Common difference, d = -50 cars
First five terms;
a = 4,600
a + d = 4600 + (-50)
= 4600 - 50
= 4,550
a + 2d
= 4600 + 2(-50)
= 4600 - 100
= 4,500
a + 3d
= 4,600 + 3(-50)
= 4,600 - 150
= 4,450
a + 4d
= 4600 + 4(-50)
= 4,600 - 200
= 4,400
cars predicted for the twelfth month.
a + 11d
= 4600 + 11(-50)
= 4600 + 550
= 4,050
Total predicted number of sold cars for the first year:
Sn = n/2{2a + (n - 1)d }
= 12/2{2×4600 + (12-1)-50}
= 6{9200 + 11(-50)}
= 6(9,200 - 550)
= 6(8,650)
= 51,900 cars
