Answer:
IM DOING ALGEBRA TOOO I HATE IT I believe that the first answe is function 4
A. 95 feet
<span>B. 12, because that would get you 96 feet of board, and if you only got 11, then you would only have 88 feet of boards which is not enough.
Hope this helped!</span>
The key is to find the first term a(1) and the difference d.
in an arithmetic sequence, the nth term is the first term +(n-1)d
the firs three terms: a(1), a(1)+d, a(1)+2d
the next three terms: a(1)+3d, a(1)+4d, a(1)+5d,
a(1) + a(1)+d +a(1)+2d=108
a(1)+3d + a(1)+4d + a(1)+5d=183
subtract the first equation from the second equation: 9d=75, d=75/9=25/3
Plug d=25/3 in the first equation to find a(1): a(1)=83/3
the 11th term is: a(1)+(25/3)(11-1)=83/3 +250/3=111
Please double check my calculation. <span />
Answer:
c(x-3)-4=b(x+7)
(cx-c•3)-4=b(x+7)
cx-3c-4=b(x+7)
cx-3c-4=bx+b•7
-3c-7b-4=bx-cx
x(b-c)=-3c-7b-4
x(b-c)/b-c = -3c-7b-4/b-c
x=-3c+7b+4/b-c
