Solution

The 1st term = -3

15th term = 53

15th term = a + d(n-1)

53 = -3 + d(15- 1)                       [Here n = 15)

53 + 3 = d(14)

14d = 56

d = 4

The common difference is 4.

The lengths of the diagonals of rectangle ABCD intersect at E. If AE =x+4 and CE= 3x-12. What is the length of BD?
swat32

Answer:

DB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other. In other words, DB = CA and CE = EA and DE = BE.

Also, AE + CE = CA

So, using this, we can write this equation:

AE = CE

x + 4 = 3x -12

Subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 3x -16

Subtract 3x from both sides.

-2x = -16

Divide both sides by -2

x = 8

Then, substitute this into AE + CE = CA

x + 4 + 3x - 12 =

8 + 4 + 24 - 12 = 24

Then, because CA = DB,

DB = 24

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions! :)

Help algebra word problems a quire of paper consists of 25 sheets, and a ream of paper consists of 500 sheets. how many quires a
Natali5045456 [20]
Good morning from Canada!

What we know:
-quire=25 sheets
-ream=100 sheets

So, we are looking for how many quires can fit into a ream. All we have to do is divide the number of sheets in a ream (100) by the number of sheets in a quire (25) because dividing allows us to see how many times a specific number can go into another number, which is what we are looking for. (How many quires are in a ream).

100/25=4

Therefore 4 quires can fit into a ream.

Hope this helps!
