Since there is a common difference of one, this is an arithmetic sequence of the form a(n)=a+d(n-1) which in this case is:

a(n)=15+1(n-1)

All arithmetic sequences have a sum which is equal to the average of the first and last terms time the number of terms, mathematically:

s(n)=(2an+dn^2-dn)/2  (that is just the result of ((a+a+d(n-1))(n/2)) )

Since a=15 and d=1 this becomes:

s(n)=(30n+n^2-n)/2

s(n)=(n^2+29n)/2 so

s(10)=(100+290)/2

s(10)=195 logs

There are 195 logs in total.

If the top row has 15 logs, and each row below it has one more log than the one above it, then 15 • 10 (since there are 10 rows in total) plus 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 ( minus the top layer, starting from the 2nd layer down, deducting 1 each time since every time the number gets add to it, a row's requirement that each row below it has one more log gets satisfied.)
(15 • 10) + (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) = 150 + 45 = 195.

Answer:

Addition: -1 + -3 = -4

Subtraction: (-4) - 5 = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since adding a positive makes a negative number stay negative, it equals -4.

Then by subtracting a negative with a positive (5), the number stays negative once again, which then equals -10.

Drake wants to save $750 so that he can take a class on computer analysis for cars. The class is being held on various dates ove
STatiana [176]
C. Both options A and B will allow him to meet his goal.



Looking at Drake's situation after 4 weeks, he only has $470 saved. By his original plan, he should have had $500 saved. So he's $30 short of his goal and has 2 weeks until his originally planned class. If he goes with option A and takes the later class, he will save an additional $125 which is more than enough to make up the $30 short fall. So option A will work for him to save enough money for his class. With option B, he will save $140 for the last 2 weeks of his plan giving him a savings of $280 for the last 2 weeks. Adding the $470 he's already saved will give him a total savings of $470 + $280 = $750 which is enough for him to attend his class. So option B will also allow Drake to attend his desired class. Both options A and B allow him to meet his goal. Hence, the answer is "c".
