-7/6, -5/4, -2.8, 1.3, 4/3
Answer:
x + 2.6 = 10.4
x = 7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2.6 liters are added to x liters with the result that 10.4 liters then exist, the model is ...
2.6 +x = 10.4 . . . . . . . 2.6 added to x gives 10.4
The commutative property of addition lets you rewrite this to ...
x +2.6 = 10.4
__
Subtracting 2.6 from both sides of the equation gives its solution:
x +2.6 -2.6 = 10.4 -2.6
x = 7.8
Yes I need points so I’m commenting random stuff lolololo
A) The first step needs 100 bricks, the second needs 98, the third needs 96, and so on. Therefore the number of bricks for the nth step is: a_n = a_1 + d(n-1), where a_1 = 100 (the first term), d = -2 (difference).
a_n = 100 - 2(n-1) = 102 - 2n, and for the 30th step, a_30 = 102 - 2*30 = 42. So the top step will need 42 bricks.
b) The total staircase will need: 100 + 98 + 96 + ... + 44 + 42, and there are n = 30 terms. Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence:
S = (a_1 + a_n)*n/2 = (100 + 42)*30/2 = 2130
Therefore, 2130 bricks are required to build the entire staircase.
