First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:

Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x

If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:

120+10x = 150 + 4x   [starting equation]
-120  -4x    -120 -4x    [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]

<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u>     [divide both sides by 5]
 5      5

x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.

Determine the nth term rule and find the 45th term for the arithmetic sequence with a10=1 and d=−6.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The 45th term is equal to -209.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got stuck on this question for six attempts. Therefore I started trying other methods. I started with a10=1 and then subtracted 6 to get a11=-5. I continued this process until I reached a45=-209

Justify each step of the solution by stating the property that was used to get to each step.
trapecia [35]

For this case we have the following expression:

4.5 (8-x) + 36 = 102-2.5 (3x + 24)

Applying distributive property to the terms within parentheses we have:

36-4.5x + 36 = 102-7.5x-60

We add similar terms on both sides of equality considering that:

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

72-4.5x = 42-7.5x

We add 7.5x to both sides of equality:

72 + 3x = 42

We subtract 72 from both sides of equality:

3x = -30

We divide between 3 on both sides of equality

x = -10

ANswer:

Distributive property

Add similar terms

Equality property of the sum

Equality subtraction property

Equality property of the division

Jasmine wants to eat at 8:00pm her meal takes 65mins to cook what time does she need to put the meal in the oven
densk [106]

Answer:

She needs to put the meal in the oven on or before 6:55pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Jasmine wants to eat at 8:00pm.

The time she needs to cook her meal = 65 mins.

To find the time she needs to put the meal in the oven, we have to subtract 65 mins from 8:00pm

65 mins = 1 hour and 5 mins.

So, 1 hour before 8:00pm is 7:00pm.

5 mins before 7:00pm is 6:55pm.

Hence, she needs to put the meal in the oven on or before 6:55pm so that she can't miss 800pm to eat.
