Answer:

d = - \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 160, n = 25 and S_{25} = 3500 , thus

\frac{25}{2} [ (2 × 160) + 24d ] = 3500, that is

12.5(320 + 24d) = 3500 ( divide both sides by 12.5 )

320 + 24d = 280 ( subtract 320 from both sides )

24d = - 40 ( divide both sides by 24 )

d = - \frac{40}{24}  = - \frac{5}{3}

What does 351 = (y × 8) + 7 equal
bogdanovich [222]

Simplify brackets

351 = y * 8 + 7

Regroup terms

351 = 8y + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides

351 - 7 = 8y

Simplify 351 - 7 to 344

344 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

344/8 = y

Simplify 344/8 to 43

43 = y

Switch sides

<u>y = 43</u>

Which of these four sets of side lengths will form a right triangle? Set 1 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm Set 2 8 in., 12 in., 20 in. Set 3 10
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:  The correct option is (D) SET 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to select the correct set of side lengths that will form a right-angled triangle.

To form a right-angled triangle, we must have the following relation:

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² = Hypotenuse².</em>

<em>Hypotenuse is the length of the largest side; perpendicular and base are the two legs of the triangle.</em>

SET 1 :  14 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm.  

We have

5^2+6^2=25+36=61,\\\\14^2=196.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² ≠ Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will not form a right-angled triangle.

SET 2 :  8 in., 12 in., 20 in.  

We have

8^2+12^2=64+144=208,\\\\20^2=400.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² ≠ Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will not form a right-angled triangle.

SET 3 :  10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm.  

We have

10^2+20^2=100+400=500,\\\\30^2=900.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² ≠ Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will not form a right-angled triangle.

SET 4 :  12 ft, 16 ft, 20 ft.  

We have

12^2+16^2=144+256=400,\\\\20^2=400.

Therefore,

<em>Perpendicular² + Base² = Hypotenuse².</em>

So, this set will form a right-angled triangle.

Thus, the SET 4 will form a right-angles triangle.

Option (D) is correct.
