Here's a pattern to consider:
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
4+97=101
5+96=101
.....
This question relates to the discovery of Gauss, a mathematician. He found out that if you split 100 from 1-50 and 51-100, you could add them from each end to get a sum of 101. As there are 50 sets of addition, then the total is 50×101=5050
So, the sum of the first 100 positive integers is 5050.

Quick note
We can use a formula to find out the sum of an arithmetic series:
s =  \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}
Where s is the sum of the series and n is the number of terms in the series. It works for the above problem.

Answer:

Solution:

the boat's speed in still water: x

The speed with current: (x+3)

The speed against current: (x-3)

The equation is

3(x+3) = 4(x-3)

x = 21 mph

The distance = 3*(21+3)= 72 miles

Find m Give explanation please

Answer: The measurement of ∠EFG is equal to 70°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two interior angles who are always opposite to an exterior angle sums to that exterior angle. So we would start as the following:

(6x - 10) + 38 = 7x + 18

In order to find m∠EFG, we must first isolate x. In order to do that, we first add like terms together on both sides.

(6x - 10) + 38 = 7x + 18

6x + 28 = 7x + 18

We then substract 18 on both sides.

6x + 10 = 7x

We finally substract 6x from both sides in order to have the value of x.

x = 10

Now that we know the value of x, we substitute it in our the equation in order to find m∠EFG.

m∠EFG = 6x + 10

m∠EFG = 6(10) + 10

m∠EFG = 60 + 10

m∠EFG = 70
