We need to find the 8 th term nth term is given as <span><span>an</span>=<span>a1</span>+(n−1)d</span>
n=8, d =-4 (common difference) <span><span>a8</span>=<span>a1</span>+(8−1)×d</span>
<span><span>a8</span>=1+7×(−4<span>)</span></span>
We need to find a common denominator(bottom number of fraction)
5/3 = 25/15 (multiply both top and bottom by 5)
1/5 = 3/15 (multiply both top and bottom by 3)
Now since the denominator is the same we can add to get 25/15 + 3/15 = 28/15
Answer:
4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: 
The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.
We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:
x^2+8x=3x^2
our answer will be x=4.
Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.
1.5y < -6.75
First, divide both sides by '1.5'.
Second, since 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.5, simplify the fraction to '-4.5'

Answer:
y < -4.5
