Answer:

a₁ = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AP, where:

  • 8a₈ = 12a₁₂
  • d = -2,
  • a₁ = ?

=============

<h3>Solution</h3>

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

  • a₈ = a₁ + 7d = a₁ + 7*(-2) = a₁ - 14
  • a₁₂ = a₁ + 11d = a₁ + 11*(-2) = a₁ - 22

8a₈ = 12a₁₂

  • 8(a₁ - 14) = 12(a₁ - 22)
  • 2(a₁ - 14) = 3(a₁ - 22)
  • 2a₁ - 28 = 3a₁ - 66
  • 3a₁ - 2a₁ = -28 + 66
  • a₁ = 38

I need to know how to do Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
vredina [299]
The point of elimination is to have one variable so example

3x + 2y = 4

7X + 3y = 5


1) Try to find a way to have one variable

7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28

-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15


2) add

0 + 5y = 13

3) solve for the last variable

5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8

4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one

3x + 2(2.8) = 4

3x + 5.6 = 4

3x = -1.6

x = 0.533333333 (continue)

The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)

Hope you understand!!

When it is 6:00 a.m. in Honolulu, it is 3:00 p.m. in London. Just before Paul’s flight from Honolulu to London, he called his fr
sineoko [7]

Answer:

b. winter wear, appropriate for around 20-45°F

Step-by-step explanation:

When it is 6:00 hours in Honolulu, it is 15:00 hours in London, this means that there are 15 - 6 = 9 hours of difference.

Paul got into London at 12:00 p.m, that is, at 12 - 9 = 3:00 p.m. Friday Honolulu time. Paul’s flight left Honolulu at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, so he spent 25 hours flighting.

When the flight started, the temperature in London was 30 °C, after 25 hours the temperature dropped 25 °C, so it was 30 - 25 = 5 °C.

To convert from °C to °F, we use the following formula:

(x °C × 9/5) + 32 = y °F

Replacing with x = 5

(5 °C × 9/5) + 32 = 41 °F

Julli [10]

Answer:

Step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Steps used by Shelly to evaluate the expression

To find: step that includes Shelly's mistake

Solution:

According to PEMDAS,

P denotes Parentheses

E denotes Exponents

M denotes Multiplication

D denotes Division

A denotes Addition

S denotes subtraction

Step 3 is -20\div 5-1 and step 4 is -20\div 4

In step 4, first subtraction operation has been applied before the division operation.

There is a mistake in step 4 as according to PEMDAS, first -20 should be divided by 5 then 1 should be subtracted from the resultant number.
