Answer:

y = 4 * x

y is the number of students that Lorenzo surveys,

x is the number of students that Nicole surveys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lorenzo surveys 24 students, so we can use this value as the left side of our equation.

The number of students that Lorenzo surveys is 4 times as many as the number of students that Nicole surveys, that is 6. So, we use the value of 6 in the right side of the equation, and multiplied by 4 (the expression "4 times as many as" means that one value is the second one multiplied by 4)

The expression that represents this is:

24 = 4 * 6

If we use the variable y to express the number of students that Lorenzo surveys and x to express the number of students that Nicole surveys, we can write this equation:

y = 4 * x

What is the sum of the first 51 consecutive odd positive integers?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
We call:

a_{n} as the set of <span>the first 51 consecutive odd positive integers, so:

</span>a_{n} = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9...\}

Where:
a_{1} = 1
a_{2} = 3
a_{3} = 5
a_{4} = 7
a_{5} = 9
<span>and so on.

In mathematics, a sequence of numbers, such that the difference between two consecutive terms is constant, is called Arithmetic Progression, so:

3-1 = 2
5-3 = 2
7-5 = 2
9-7 = 2 and so on.

Then, the common difference is 2, thus:

</span>a_{n} = \{ a_{1} , a_{1} + d, a_{1} + d + d,..., a_{1} + (n-2)d+d\}
<span>
Then:

</span>a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d
<span>
So, we need to find the sum of the members of the finite series, which is called arithmetic series:

There is a formula for arithmetic series, namely:

</span>S_{k} = ( \frac{a_{1} +  a_{k}}{2}  ).k
<span>
Therefore, we need to find:
</span>a_{k} =  a_{51}  

Given that a_{1} = 1, then:

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

Thus:
a_{k} = a_{51} = 2(51)-1 = 101

Lastly:

S_{51} = ( \frac{1 + 101}{2} ).51 = 2601

Question 8<br> Calculate the difference (4x2 + x - 5) – (5x2 - 1).
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x2 + x - 5) - (5x2 - 1)

According to the order of operations, parenthesis come first so we will solve what is in the parenthesis first.

Then we do the multiplication because it comes before addition and subtraction.

4x2 = 8

Now we have 8 + x - 5

Combine like terms and 8-5=3 so we have 3 + x

Now for the second one.

5x2=10

10-1=9

Subtracting this from the first expression we have:

3+x-9 =

x - 6
