Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
1+9+40-40+40+10*2
----------------------- 20
10+40-40+40+20
50 (-40+40 cancels out to 0) +20
50+20= 70
(Following PEMDAS)
Multiply, add, subtract.
if you were to instead go through it left to right, you would get 120, which is incorrect.
Answer: a) first 4 terms would be 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25.
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
h₀ = 20
r = 0.5
As it is a geometric sequence.
So, hₙ would be

First 4 terms would be

Hence, a) first 4 terms would be 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25.
b) 
6. Call the length Marian bikes m. We have m/3+m=24, so 4m/3=24 and m=18, so Marian bikes 18 miles and Bin-Gee bikes the remaining 6 miles.
9. If 24 miles more than Jan's distance is three times Jan's distance, 24 is twice Jan's distance, so Jan drives 12 miles.
16. Call the amount of tied games t. We have: t+(t+1)+(t+1+2)=10, so 3t+4=10. As a result, 3t=6, so t=2. Therefore, two games were tied, 2+1=3 games were lost, and the remaining five games were won.
28. This problem is actually the same as problem 16! Do you see why? (Shortest piece is equal to games tied, middle is games lost, and largest is games won)
