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

The distance on the number line from -10 to -2 equals 5x – 12. What is the value of x?
Troyanec [42]

It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4

The number of customers in a store on the first day is represented by: (6x - 3) The number of customers on the second day is rep
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:the expression is 5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of customers in a store on the first day is represented by: (6x - 3).

The number of customers on the second day is represented by: (x - 1)

An expression to find how many more customers visited the store on the first day would be the difference between the number of customers that visited the store on the first day and the number of customers that visited the store on the second day. The expression becomes

6x - 3 - (x - 1)

= 6x - 3 - x + 1

= 6x - x - 3 + 1

= 5x - 2

How do you find percent of a number mentally
olga55 [171]
It isn't easy really but you can always divide the number out. For example 50% of 200 is 100 by dividing 200 by 2 or 25% of 100 is 25 by dividing 100 by 4 since 25% is equivalent to 1/4
