Answer:

620

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is n(a1 + aN)/2, where n is the number of terms, aN is the last term and a1 is the first term. We do not know the last term, though, so we must find it. The equation for this is an=a1+(n−1)d, where d is the common difference and a1 is the first term, and n is the number of terms. Therefore, the last term, an is, -7+(19)4 = 69.

Finally, we plug it into the first formula, the formula to find the sum, and we get 20*(-7+69)/2, which gives us 620 as our final answer.

elixir [45]

Answer: Width = 5 inches

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the perimeter.

A perimeter is a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (w + l)

w = width

l = length

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

w = w

l = 3w - 2

P = 36 inches

Given formula

P = 2 (w + l)

Substitute the value into the formula

36 = 2 (w + 3w - 2)

Simplify values in the parentheses

36 = 2 (4w -2)

Divide 2 on both sides

36 / 2 = 2 (4w - 2) / 2

18 = 4w - 2

Add 2 on both sides

18 + 2 = 4w - 2 + 2

20 = 4w

Divide 4 on both sides

20 / 4 = 4w / 4

w = 5

Hope this helps!! :)
