Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is AP, the common difference is same for any term:

(4x - 2) - (x + 1) = (6x - 3) - (4x - 2)
3x - 3 = 2x -1
3x - 2x = 3 - 1
x= 2

The first 3 terms are:

3, 6, 9

Since the last term is 18, it means this AP has 6 terms:

{3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}

Answer: as we need to find the value of x only, it is = 2

Ugo [173]

Answer:

no;no because it is going to be negative 12.

En una casa de empanadas hornean 1.200 por día. Si las cocinan en fuentes de 75 unidades, colocando siempre la mayor cantidad po

valkas [14]

Answer:

16 unidades preparan simultáneamente 1200 empanadas por día.

Step-by-step explanation:

Si cada fuente tiene una capacidad de 75 empanadas por horneada y que la mayor cantidad posible ocurre cuando el volumen de producción se cocina simultáneamente, entonces el total de fuentes es la cantidad total de producción dividida por la capacidad de empanadas por fuente. Es decir:

$x = \frac{1200\,emp}{75\,\frac{emp}{und} }$

$x = 16\,unidades$

16 unidades preparan simultáneamente 1200 empanadas por día.

One eighth of a number is less than or equal to 3 what is the inequality

Elodia [21]

We will assume that the number is n
one eighth of the number = 1/8 x n = n/8
we know that this result n/8) is less than or equal (<=) 3
therefore, the inequality is:
n/8 <= 3
