Answer:

-28.

Step-by-step explanation:

T(1) = 20 + 6 = 26.

This is an arithmetic series with:

nth term T(n) = 26 - 6(n - 1).

So T(10) = 26 - 6(10-1)

= 26 -54

= -28.

<h3>Answer is -28</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

T(2) = 20 means the second term is 20

T(1) = 26 because we go backwards from what the rule says (subtract 6) to step back one term. Going forward, 26-6 = 20.

Since a = 26 is the first term and d = -6 is the common difference, the nth term is

T(n) = a + d*(n-1)

T(n) = 26 + (-6)(n-1)

T(n) = 26 - 6n + 6

T(n) = -6n + 32

Plugging n = 1 into the equation above leads to T(1) = 26. Using n = 2 leads to T(2) = 20.

Plug in n = 10 to find the tenth term

T(n) = -6n + 32

T(10) = -6(10) + 32

T(10) = -60+32

T(10) = -28

Write y+7 = 2/3 (4x-6) in standard form using integers

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

8x -3y = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by 3 to eliminate the fraction. Then rearrange to standard form.

y +7 = 2/3(4x -6) . . . . . . . given

3(y +7) = 2(4x -6) . . . . . . . multiply by 3

3y +21 = 8x -12 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

33 = 8x -3y . . . . . . . . . . add 12-3y to both sides

8x -3y = 33 . . . . . . . . . swap sides to put into standard form

_____

Standard form has mutually prime integer coefficients, the leading one being positive.

An ostrich run 6 mile in12 minut how far he could come in 40 minutes

bogdanovich [222]

The ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes.

Solution:

Given that, An ostrich run 6 mile in 12 minutes

We have to find how far he could come in 40 minutes

Now, according to the given information

Ostrich runs 6 miles ⇒ 12 minutes

Then, “n” miles ⇒ 40 minutes

Now, by criss cross multiplication we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 6 \times 40=n \times 12} \\\\ {\rightarrow 40=n \times 2} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=20}\end{array}$

Hence, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes

Jordan flipped a coin 492 times. Which of the following would be a good estimate of the number of times the coin landed on heads

Irina-Kira [14]

I'd say B. but that's only because I divided the number of times he flipped the coin by the number of sides it has, 2, and came up with 246. The closest number on here to that is 231 or B. I hope I helped.

(05.03)(picture included)Sue has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend and wants to know exactly how much area she will be cut

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Solution given:

BD=35ft

AC=43ft

AB=8ft

EF=33-8=25ft

AE=26ft

Now

area of right angled triangle ∆AEF

=½(EF*AE)=½(25×25)=312.5ft²

area of parallel trapezoid=½AB(BD+AC)

=½*8(35+43)=312ft²

So

Area of polygon : 312.5+312=624.5ft² is a required answer.
