Solve the formula for n. A=a+d(n-1) evaluate n when A=25, a=5, and d=13
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You;ll run into this formula a lot. Make sure you study it carefully.

A = 25

a = 5

d = 13

Find n

25 = 5 + 13*(n- 1)

20 = 13(n - 1)

This isn't going to work out. 20/13 does not give a whole number which it should.

Fantom [35]
You didn't give any choices, but the equation looks like this: 17 = 2x + 5.  Solving that for x tells you that he went on a big water slide 6 times. 2 times 6 plus 5 is the $17 he spent at the park.  See how well that works out?

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

13.4feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up forms a right triangle.

Given

Height of the staircase h = 12 feet

Base of the stairs b = 6feet

Required

Length of the ramp l

Using the pythagoras theorem

l² = h² + b²

l² = 12²+6²

l² = 144 + 36

l² = 180

l = √180

l = 13.42 feet

Hence the length of the ramp to the nearest tenth is 13.4feet

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:</u>

  • 8x - 2 = 12x - 30
  • 12x -8x = 30 -2
  • 4x = 28
  • x= 28/4
  • x= 7
