Answer:

18 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 12 painters paint the wall of a school in 21 days.

So the wall painted by one painter will paint the wall in 21\times 12\text{ days}=252\text{ days}

As one painter will paint the wall in 252 days, so to find the number of days it will take to paint the same wall by 14 painters, we will divide time taken by one painter (252) by 14.

\text{Time take by 14 painters to paint the wall}=\frac{252}{14}

\text{Time take by 14 painters to paint the wall}=18

Therefore, it will take 18 days to paint the same wall by 14 painters.

The chairs in the auditorium illustrates an arithmetic sequence

  • The recursive rule is:  an = an-1 + 8; a1 = 26
  • The explicit rule is:  an = 18 + 8n
  • There are 74 seats in the 7th row
  • 840 chairs can fit the auditorium

<h3>The recursive rule</h3>

From the question, we have the following sequence:

Seats: 18, 26, 34

Rewrite as:

26 = 18 + 8

34 = 26 + 8

The above means that:

The number of seats on a row is 8 added to the the number of seats on the previous row.

Hence, the recursive rule is:

an = an-1 + 8; a1 = 26

<h3>The explicit rule</h3>

In (a), we have:

a1 = 26 and d = 8

The explicit rule is calculated using:

an = a1 + (n -1) * d

This gives

an = 26 + (n - 1) * 8

Expand

an = 26 - 8 + 8n

Evaluate the difference

an = 18 + 8n

Hence, the explicit rule is:

an = 18 + 8n

<h3>The number of seats in the row 7</h3>

This means that n = 7.

So, we  have:

a7 = 18 + 8 * 7 = 74

Hence, there are 74 seats in the 7th row

<h3>The sigma notation</h3>

We have the maximum number of rows to be 12.

So, the sigma notation would be:

\sum\limits^{12}_{n=1} {18 + 8n}

The total number of seats is:

Sn = n/2(2a + (n -1) * d)

This gives

S12 = 12/2(2 * 26 + (12 -1) * 8)

S12 = 840

Hence, 840 chairs can fit the auditorium

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance. When the molecules of the liquid collide, they transfer energy to each other based on how they collide with each other. Wikipedia

Solve the following equation:<br> a) 3x - 9 = 27/ 1 - 5x<br> b) 10x - 1/x = 3
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

A) x=9/2 B) x=-1/5, 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-9=27/1-5x

3x-9=27-5x

3x-(-5x)-9=27

3x+5x-9=27

8x-9=27

8x=27+9

8x=36

x=36/8

simplify

x=9/2

Answer: x=9/2

-----------------------------

10x-1/x=3

(10x^2-1)/x=3

10x^2-1=3*x

10x^2-1=3x

10x^2-3x-1=0

factor out the trinomial,

find two numbers that when they multiply,

you get the third term, which is -1 in this case.

When you add those 2 numbers, you get the second term,

which is -3 in this case.

(5x+1)(2x-1)=0

apply the zero property from here,

set 5x+1=0 and 2x-1=0 and solve for x.

5x=0-1=-1, x=-1/5,

2x=0+1=1, 2x=1, x=1/2.

So x=-1/5, 1/2.
