There are an infinite number of possibilities.

       White . . . any even number greater than 8 .
       Blue . . . . (1.5) x (the number of white ones).

The smallest possible contents of the bag:

       White . . . 10
       Blue . . . . 15
       Total . . . . 25 .

Which is an equation of a line that has a slope of -1/3 and passes through the point (-5, 2)?
kramer

Answer:

y= -⅓x +⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

This form is also known as the point-slope form.

Since the slope is given to be -⅓, m= -⅓.

y= -⅓x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

When x= -5, y=2,

2= -⅓(-5) +c

2 =  \frac{5}{3}  + c \\ c = 2 -  \frac{5}{3}  \\ c =  \frac{1}{3}

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -⅓x +⅓.

Find the difference: <br> 2(x-2) - 3(x-4)
cluponka [151]

Answer:

brainliest plzzzzz

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-2) - 3(x-4)

Simplify:

2(x-2)-3(x-4)

2x-4-3(x-4)

Distribute:

2x-4-3(x-4)

2x-4-3x+12

Add the numbers:

2x-4-3x+12

2x+8-3x

Combine like terms:

2x+8-3x

-x+8

Hence Solution = -x+8

This math my graduation depends on it
In-s [12.5K]

In an arithmetic sequence, consecutive terms have a fixed distance d between them. If a₁ is the first term, then

2nd term = a₂ = a₁ + d

3rd term = a₃ = a₂ + d = a₁ + 2d

4th term = a₄ = a₃ + d = a₁ + 3d

and so on, up to

nth term = a_n = a_{n-1} + d = a_{n-2} + 2d = a_{n-3} + 3d = \cdots = a_1 + (n-1)d

so that every term in the sequence can be expressed in terms of a₁ and d.

6. It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like you're given a₁₃ = -53 and a₃₅ = -163.

We have

a₁₃ = a₁ + 12d = -53

a₃₅ = a₁ + 34d = -163

Solve for a₁ and d. Eliminating a₁ and solving for d gives

(a₁ + 12d) - (a₁ + 34d) = -53 - (-163)

-22d = 110

d = -5

and solving for a₁, we get

a₁ + 12•(-5) = -53

a₁ - 60 = -53

a₁ = 7

Then the nth term is recursively given by

a_n = a_{n-1}-5

and explicitly by

a_n = 7 + (n-1)(-5) = 12 - 5n

7. We do the same thing here. Use the known terms to find a₁ and d :

a₁₉ = a₁ + 18d = 15

a₃₈ = a₁ + 37d = 72

⇒   (a₁ + 18d) - (a₁ + 37d) = 15 - 72

⇒   -19d = -57

⇒   d = 3

⇒   a₁ + 18•3 = 15

⇒   a₁ = -39

Then the nth term is recursively obtained by

a_n = a_{n-1}+3

and explicitly by

a_n = -39 + (n-1)\cdot3 = 3n-42

8. I won't both reproducing the info I included in my answer to your other question about geometric sequences.

We're given that the 1st term is 3 and the 2nd term is 12, so the ratio is r = 12/3 = 4.

Then the next three terms in the sequence are

192 • 4 = 768

768 • 4 = 3072

3072 • 4 = 12,288

The recursive rule with a₁ = 3 and r = 4 is

a_n = 4a_{n-1}

and the explicit rule would be

a_n = 3\cdot4^{n-1}

Please help me with my homework please answer this correctly
Ad libitum [116K]
The answer would be 200,000.
This is because you go to the hundred thousands' place and look one place to the right. Since there is a 6 and 6>5 you round up to 2 making it 200,000. Hope this helps!
