Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. Mickey's bowling score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score

2. The sum of their scores is 228

We need to find the score of each one

Assume that the score of Minnie is x

∵ Minnie's score = x

∵ Mickey's score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score

- That means subtract 16 from 3 times Minnie's score

∴ Mickey's score = 3 x - 16

∵ The sum of their scores is 228

- Add their scores and equate the sum by 228

∴ x + 3 x - 16 = 228

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 4 x - 16 = 228

- Add 16 for both sides

∴ 4 x = 244

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ x = 61

Substitute the value of x to find their scores

∵ Minnie's score is x

∴ Minnie's score = 61

∵ Mickey's score is 3 x - 16

∴ Mickey's score = 3(61) - 16 = 167

Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth. <br> Answer options: 3.8, 4, 2.7, 2.9

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two chords intersect externally, then the product of the length of the chord and the length of the part outside the circle is a constant.

Thus from the figure,

we can deduce that:

8×3=6×x

collecting the like terms together we get:

24=6x

x=4

Develop an explicit formula in terms of n for the nth term of the following sequence:

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$a_{n}=(n-1)n^{2}$

for the seventh term: $a_{n}=(7-1)7^{2}= (6)(49)=294$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to observe the sequence, it is crescent, every term is bigger than the one before it. Now, if we put our numbers in a graph (added as an image) we'll notice we obtain an exponential function, this is another detail we'll consider to find our equation, from here it's trial an error.

Our formula is:

$a_{n}=(n-1)n^{2}$

where n is the number of term:

$a_{n}=(1-1)1^{2}= (0)(1)=0$
$a_{n}=(2-1)2^{2}= (1)(4)=4$
$a_{n}=(3-1)3^{2}= (2)(9)=18$
$a_{n}=(4-1)4^{2}= (3)(16)=48$
$a_{n}=(5-1)5^{2}= (4)(25)=100$
$a_{n}=(6-1)6^{2}= (5)(36)=180$ it works!
$a_{n}=(7-1)7^{2}= (6)(49)=294$

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!
