Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 5
r = -5
n = 9
t_9 = a r^(n - 1)
t_9 = (-1)^n*5 (-5) ^ 8
t_9 = (-1)^9 * 5 * (-5) ^8
t_9 = -1 ( 1953125)
t_9 = - 1953125
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.
Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be
12 × x = 12x
She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be
12 × 2 = 24 cookies
She brings 60 cookies to the party.
The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be
12x = 24 + 60
12x = 84
x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
