Answer:

The tree is 45 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing this out will make it much easier.

In the figure, 3 is proportional to 27, and 5 is proportional to the missing side (x).

Insert the figures into an equation and solve:

3/5 *  27/x

Cross multiply:

3(x)= 27(5)

3x=135

135/3=x

x=45

Took must make a 92 on the next test.
(81+84+84+69+76+x)/6=81
(394+x)/6=81
Multiply by 6 on both sides
394 + x = 486
Subtract 394 from both sides.
x= 92

A(1)=20
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

You've got a(1)=20

a(1) means a(n) when n=1

the sequence is telling you to take the previous value of a(n), which is a(n-1) and subtract 17

then:

a(2) = a(1)-17 = 20 - 17 = 3

a(3) = a(2) - 17 = 3-17 = -14
