So first you would have to do is read the problem carefully and understand what it's asking you and what I mean is look for some clues that would help you to solve the problem. For instance, the word fewer is a good word to help us because the word fewer means less or taking away and so what that tells us is, what we have to do is subtract 1089 points from 14370 points they want to know how many points did Amy scored and so in order to do that we need to subtract and so our final answer would be 13281 as our final answer and so thank you for this question and keep in mind that you always have to read the question carefully in order to understand. So Amy scored 13281 in the game. Have a blessed day.
Answer:
Chris still owes Kate $18
<u>Answer:</u>
The next term in the sequence 3, -6, 12, 4, 20, ? is 13.
<u>Solution:</u>
The given sequence is 3,-6,12,4,20,?
We need to find the next term of the sequence. If we observe the sequence we see that the terms are increasing and decreasing one after the other. To calculate the pattern of increase and decrease we can do the following.
3-(-6) =9
-6-12=-18
12-4=8
4-20=-16
If we ignore the negative sign we can observe that the difference between the consecutive numbers has a pattern.
the first difference is 9 and the next difference is twice that of the first one.
The third difference is one less than the first one and the fourth difference is twice that of the third one.
So by logic the next number should be one less than 8 that is,
8-1=7.
Since the pattern in the sequence is that of increase and decrease.
We need to subtract 7 from 20.
=20-7=13.
Therefore, the next term in the sequence has to be 13.
