Answer:
- 3, - 1, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the first 3 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the formula
a₁ = 2(1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = - 3
a₂ = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = - 1
a₃ = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1
The first 3 terms are - 3, - 1, 1
17/51=8/x <-- Cross multiply
17x=408 <-- Divide 17 by both sides
x=24
The shortest side is 24 or B.
There would be 3 and 1/2 pounds left.
2/3 x 2 = 4/6
5/6
5/6 + 4/6 = 6/6 (1) and 3/6 (1/2)
2 goes into 4 only 2 times and 5 goes into 5 once
