Answer:

the common difference = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The seventh term of an arithmetic sequence is 10.2 and the twelfth term is 17.7

a7 = 10.2

a12= 17.7

Use the formula for nth term

a_n= a_1+(n-1)d

where 'd' is the common difference

n is the number of terms

a1 is the first term

a_7= a_1+(7-1)d

10.2= a_1+6d  ---> equation 1

a_12= a_1+(12-1)d

17.7= a_1+11d  -------------> equation 2

Subtract equation 2 - equation 1

17.7= a_1+11d

10.2= a_1+6d

---------------------------------------

  7.5 = 5d

divide by 5 on both sides

d= 1.5

So the common difference = 1.5

7 = 10.2
12 = 17.7
Let's take 
d = 17.7 - 10.2/ 12 - 7
d =  7.5/ 5
d = 1.5
The common difference is 1.5

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5 : 3. If there were 40 red cars, how many blue cars were there?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

24 blue cars

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, one is given the ratio of red to blue cars in the parking lot. One is given the actual number of red cars, and one is asked to find the number of blue cars. One can set up a proportion; ratio to actual, then solve to find the number of actual blue cars using the method of cross-products. One can set up the proportion using the ratios, but it is easier to express the proportion as the equality of two fractions. Thus, the following equation can be formed, let the parameter (x) represent the actual amount of blue cars;

\frac{red}{blue}= \frac{5}{3} = \frac{40}{x}

Cross products,

5x = 120

Inverse operations,

x = 24

Write using exponents.<br> (–4)(–4)
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>Exponents are the repeated multiplication of a number. It is represented by the formula of a^n where a is the number to be repeated and n is the number of times the number is being multiplies by itself. Also include the sign of the number, no matter how it is multiplied, it is still important. In this problem, you have 4 as the repeated number. You can see that it is multiplied by itself by two times. So you have (-4)^2.</span>

Which statement describes the daily motion of the moon?
vladimir1956 [14]

hi again uwu

Answer:  i know that the moon rises in the east, and takes 27 1/3 days to go around the earth....

Step-by-step explanation:

because every time Earth spins around once the moon moves about 13 degrees east along its orbit.Thus, the Earth must rotate an extra 13 degrees more each day for a point on its surface to be roughly under the moon again. since earth takes about 50 minutes to spin 13 degrees the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day and sets about 50 minutes later too.

Expand and simplify : A) (x+7)(x+10). B) (X-3) (X-9)
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Using the foil method and distribution, you should get x²+10x+7x+70 from (X×X)+(X×10)+(X×7)+(7×10). When you combine these like terms, you get x²+17x+70.

B) Using the same ideology from part A, when you multiply x-3 into x-9. you should get x²-9x-3x+27. Simplifying this will give you x²-12x+27.
