Answer:

Mary: 16

Kevin: 22

Ahmed: 88

Step-by-step explanation:

This could be written as the following formula.

Mary + Kevin + Ahmad = 126

and we know that

Mary + 6 = Kevin

Kevin * 4 = Ahmed

so Ahmed = (Mary + 6) * 4

When filling this in you get

Mary + Mary + 6 + (Mary + 6) * 4 = 126

Mary + Mary + 6 + 4Mary + 24 = 126

6Mary + 30 = 126

6Mary = 96

Mary = 16

So Mary served 16 orders.

Using the earlier formulas you get

Kevin = Mary + 6 = 16 + 6 = 22

Ahmed = Kevin * 4 = 22 * 4 = 88.

Now we just need to double check it.

Mary + Kevin + Ahmad = 16 + 22 + 88 = 126. Which matches what it should be.

Find a_1 and d for an arithmetic sequence with these terms. a_4=9and a_7=18

jonny [76]

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
term&value\\
-----&-----\\
a_4&9\\
a_5&9+d\\
a_6&(9+d)+d\\
&9+2d\\
a_7&(9+2d)+d\\
&9+3d=\underline{18}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
9+3d=18\implies 3d=9\implies d=\cfrac{9}{3}\implies \boxed{d=3}$

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
n=7\\
d=3
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\implies 18=a_1+(7-1)3\implies 18=a_1+18
\\\\\\
18-18=a_1\implies \boxed{0=a_1}$

Kindly answer this one. Thank you.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming these questions are about the Midline Theorem (segment AL joins the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

♦ The midline's length is the average of the lengths of the top and bottom parallel sides.

$AL=\frac{OR+CE}{2}$

Use this equation and substitute values given in each problem, then solve for the missing information.

1. AL = x, CE = 9, OR = 5

$x=\frac{9+5}{2}=7$

2. AL = <em>m</em> - 4, CE = 15, OR = 17

$m-4=\frac{15+17}{2}=16\\\\m-4=16\\\\\\m=20\\\\AL=20-4=16$

3. OR = y + 5, AL = 15, CE = 18

$15=\frac{(y+5)+18}{2}\\\\15=\frac{y+23}{2}\\\\30=y+23\\\\7=y\\\\OR = 7+5=12$

(04.05) Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week. This week he spent 25 hours doing homework. He says that he spent 125% mor

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Evan is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer, we can use the formula A=PxW

A=Part, P=Percentage, W=Whole

We can fill in the numbers we know and leave blank (with the variable) the numbers we want to find out

In this scenario, we want to find out if 25 is 125% of 29

So we can use this formula and do the equation like this:

A=1.25x20

This gets us to 25

So Evan is correct!

Hope this helps and please award brainliest if possible!

You are about to take the road test for your driver's license. You hear that only 38% of candidates pass the test the first t

OLga [1]

Answer:

Answers may vary but will most likely be close to 2.

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

first test:38%

second test:76%

SIMULATION FIRST TEST

Randomly select a 2-digit number.

If the digit is between 00 and 35 then you passed the test,else you did not pass the test.

SIMULATION SECOND TEST

Randomly select a 2-digit number.

if the digit is between 00 and 75 then you passed the test,else you did not pass the test.

SIMULATION TRIAL

Perform the simulation of the first test.if you did not pass the first test then perform the simulation of the second test.

Record the number of trials needed to pass the first or second test.

Repeat 20 times and take the average of the 20 recorded number of trials

(what is the sum of recorded values divided by 20).

Note:you will most likely obtain a result of about two trials needed.
