If the 10th of the 10 consecutive numbers is 10, what is their sum?

1 answer:

7 0

Represent these consecutive numbers (assuming that they are all integers):

x
x+1
x+2
x+3
x+4
x+5
and so on
x+8
x+9 is the tenth number. x+9 = 10, so x = 9.

Think of it this way: there are 10 consecutive numbers, and the last one is 10.

Working backwards, we get the sequence 10, 9, ... 3, 2, 1.

The sum of such an arith sequence is equal to the count of the numbers times the average of the first and last terms:

sum here = 10(1+10)/2 = 5(11) = 55 (answer)

If a rectangle has side lengths 5x-y and x+4y what would be the area and perimeter of the rectangle?

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Answer is given below with explanations. 

Step-by-step explanation:

$given \: \: l = 5x - y \: and \: \: b = x + 4y \\ area \: of \: rectangle \:= l \times b \: sq.units \\ = (5x - y)(x + 4y) \\ = 5 {x}^{2} + 20xy - xy - 4 {y}^{2} \\ = 5 {x}^{2} + 19xy - 4 {y}^{2} \\ perimeter \: of \: rectangle \\ = 2(l + b) \\ = 2(5x - y + x + 4y) \\ = 2(6x + 3y) \\ = 12x + 6y$

The scale in the drawing is 2 cm : 5 m. Select from the drop down the correct numbers into the boxes to give the length, width,

Gelneren [198K]

The length, width, and area will be 25m, 15m, and 375m².

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

From the information given, the scale in the drawing is 2cm : 5m and the length and width are given as 10cm and 6cm respectively.

Length = 10cm = 10 × 2.5 = 25m

Width = 6cm = 6 × 2.5m = 15m

Area = Length × Width

Area = 25 × 15

Area = 375m²

Therefore, the area is 375m².

Beverages at the Store 2,000 milliliters of soda 2.5 liters of apple juice 1,500 milliliters of fruit punch 2 liters of lemonade

klemol [59]

1000 millilitres = 1 litre
soda= 2 litres
apple juice = 2.5 litres
fruit punch = 1.5 litres
lemonade = 2 litres
2+2.5+1.5+2= 8 litres
10 - 8 = 2 litres

so, the combinations could be:

2 soda, 1 apple juice, 1 fruit punch and 1 lemonade

or

1 soda, 1 apple juice, 1 fruit punch and 2 lemonade
