Answer:

1) either 5 or 6 students in the group

2) 6 rooms are booked

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x students

3x + 8 = apples

5 (x-1) + y (the one get less than 5 apples)

3x + 8 = 5 (x - 1) + y

3x + 8 = 5x - 5 + y

2x + y = 13

X 1 2 3 4 5 6

Y 11 9 7 5 3 1

because y < 5 so x = 5 or x = 6

2) x rooms are booked

4x + 20 total students

8 (x-1) + y (the students in room not full))

4x + 20 = 8 (x-1) + y

4x + 20 = 8x - 8 + y

4x + y = 28

X 1 2 3 4 5 6

Y 24 20 16 12 8 4

y < 8 answer is 6 rooms

A music website charges x dollars for individual songs and y dollars for an entire album. Person A pays $25.92 to download 6 ind

EleoNora [17]

Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire song album = y dollars
Person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
Person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second we get
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars

Generate the nest three terms of each arithmetic sequence shown below.

o-na [289]

Answer:

A)2,6,10

B)2,-6,-18

C)-1,-3,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A)a1=-2 and d=4</u>

We know that the arithmetic sequence formula is

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Now

$a_{2}=a_{1}+(2-1)d$

$a_{2}=a_{1}+(1)d$

Substituting the given value we get

$a_{2}= -2+(1)4$

$a_{2}= -2+4$

$a_{2}= 2$

------------------------------------------

Similarly

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(3-1)d$

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(2)d$

Substituting the given value we get

$a_{3}= -2+(2)4$

$a_{3}= -2+8$

$a_{3}= 6$

-------------------------------------------------

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(4-1)d$

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(3)d$

Substituting the given value we get

$a_{4}= -2+(3)4$

$a_{4}= -2+16$

$a_{4}= 10$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>B</u><u> $a_n=a_{(n-1)}-8$ with $a_1=10$ </u>

$a_2=a_{(2-1)}-8$

$a_2=a_{1}-8$

Substituting the given value

$a_2= 10-8$

$a_2=2$

---------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_3=a_{(3-1)}-8$

$a_3=a_{2}-8$

Substituting the value

$a_3=2-8$

$a_3= -6$

---------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_4=a_{(4-1)}-8$

$a_4=a_{3}-8$

Substituting the value

$a_4= -6-8$

$a_4= -14$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>C) $a_1=3, a_2=1$ </u>

Here the difference is -2

the arithmetic sequence formula is

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Now

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(3-1)d$

$a_{3}=a_{1}+(2)d$

Substituting the value we get

$a_{3}= 3+(2)-2$

$a_{3}= 3-4$

$a_{3}= -1$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(4-1)d$

$a_{4}=a_{1}+(3)d$

Substituting the value we get

$a_{4}= 3+(3)-2$

$a_{4}= 3-6$

$a_{4}= -3$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$a_{5}=a_{1}+(5-1)d$

$a_{5}=a_{1}+(4)d$

Substituting the value we get

$a_{5}= 3+(4)-2$

$a_{5}= 3-8$

$a_{5}= -5$

Ordering the Angle Measures of a Triangle

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

C, B, A

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides in order from shortest to longest are ...

AB = m-2

AC = m

BC = m+4

The angles opposite these sides will be in order, smallest to largest. The angle opposite is the one whose letter is <em>not</em> in the line segment name.

C, B, A
