I believe there is no such AP...

Recursively, this sequence is supposed to be given by

\begin{cases}a_1=8\\a_k=a_{k-1}+d&\text{for }k>1\end{cases}

so that

a_k=a_{k-1}+d=a_{k-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(k-1)d

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

33=8+(n-1)d

21=(n-1)d

n has to be an integer, which means there are 4 possible cases.

Case 1: n-1=1 and d=21. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^2(8+21(k-1))=37\neq123

Case 2: n-1=21 and d=1. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{22}(8+1(k-1))=407\neq123

Case 3: n-1=3 and d=7. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^4(8+7(k-1))=74\neq123

Case 4: n-1=7 and d=3. But

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^8(8+3(k-1))=148\neq123

Curtis paid $80 on the vet bill for his dog. Then the vet charged him $40 more for his dog's medicine. If he now owes the vet $1
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

He paid 80 at the start, so his starting must have been 80

Step-by-step explanation:

80+40=120...

so either 0, or 80 because he owed nothing, or he owed the 80, then the 40 for medication

I hope this helps!

The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of y for the equation 4y − 2y − 4 = −1 + 13: Step 1: 4y − 2y − 4
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

You stopped at 2y-4=12

If we add same number to both sides the equation will remain true. For example if we have 5=5, and we add 7 to both sides, we get 12=12 which is also true. Now let's do this with our equation. Add 4 to both sides(to have only y on the left side). We get 2y=16, hence y=8.

Answer. 2y=16
