So, bike=b and accessories=a.
b+a=320
Since the bike is worth 7 times more than the accessories, the b would turn into 7a (because 7 times the cost of accessories is the cost of the bike).
The equation would now turn into 7a+a=320.
Solve for a.
7a+a=320
8a=320
a=40
Now that you know the cost of the accessories, you multiply that 40
by 7 to get the cost of the bike.
40(7)
280
The cost of the bike is $280.
The cost of the accessories are/is $40.
The explicit rule for any arithmetic sequence is:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number
In this case a=-3 and d=7 so:
a(n)=-3+7(n-1)
a(n)=-3+7n-7
a(n)=7n-10
Answer:
600:450:450
Step-by-step explanation:
8+6+6= 20
1500/20=75
8*75= 600
6*75= 450
6*75=450
Check:
600/75= 8
450/75= 6
450/75=6
