A₁ = -8 This is the first term in an arithmetic sequence.
d = 3, the common difference

a(n) = a₁ + d(n-1)

a₇ = -8 + 3(7-1)
a₇ = -8 + 3(6)
a₇ = -8 + 18
a₇ = 10

To check:
a₁ = -8
a₂ = -8 + 3 = -5
a₃ = -5 + 3 = -2
a₄ = -2 + 3 = 1
a₅ = 1 + 3 = 4
a₆ = 4 + 3 = 7
a₇ = 7 + 3 = 10

I don't know how to do this or what i'm doing plz help

recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.

we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} 12&1\\ 18&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{18}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 12x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{12}\implies x=\cfrac{3}{2}$

so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.

then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.

let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.

the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.

$\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Hector&d&12&t+\frac{3}{2}\\[1em] Wanda&d&16&t \end{array}\qquad \implies \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)\\[1em] d=(16)(t) \end{cases}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{d} in the 2nd equation}}{\boxed{(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)}=16t}\implies 12t+18=16t \\\\\\ 18=4t\implies \cfrac{18}{4}=t\implies \cfrac{9}{2}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{four and a half hours}}{4\frac{1}{2}=t}$

A company sells boxes of duck calls (d) for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45. they make batches of duck calls that fill

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the number of boxes of duck calls and t be the number of boxes of turkey calls.

We have been given that a company sells boxes of duck calls for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45, so the revenue earned from selling d boxes of duck and t boxes of turkey call will be 35d and 45t respectively.

Further, the company plan to make $300. We can represent this information as:

$35d+45t=300...(1)$

We are also told that they make batches of duck calls that fill 6 boxes and batches of turkey calls that fill 8 boxes. the company only has 42 boxes. We can represent this information as:

$6d+8t=42...(2)$
