I will explain this answer with the help of number line which i have shown below.
Considering sea level as starting point i.e origin i will depict how far Trina had gone below sea level and how much Jessie went above sea level.
Distance Traveled by Trina below sea level = - 85.5 meter
Distance Traveled by Jessie above sea level =87.9 meter
Considering sea level as origin i.e 0
Total distance traveled by Trina= 0-(-85.5)=85.5 meter
Total distance Traveled by Jessie = 0+87.9=87.9 meter
So,Trina is nearer to sea level than Jessie.
Now Trina wants to hang glide at the same number of meters above sea level as she scuba dived below sea level.
Then Distance traveled by Trina=85.5 meter
No,she will not fly higher than Jessie because Jessie has traveled 87.9 meter.
5(k+4)-2k
Multiply the k and the 4 by 5
Now you have 5k+20-2k
Minus 2k from 5k
Now you have 3k+ 20 that’s the answer
2(3+d-1)
Multiply 3, d, and 1 by 2
Now you have 6+2d-2
Minus 2 from 6
Now you have 4+2d that’s the answe
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence is geometric (it multiplies the previous number each time). The nth term sequence would be 
Because the sequence multiplies by 3 each time, The base number in that equation would be 
.
So 
of the equation would be:
.
Compare the 2 equations:
4, 12, 36
3, 9 ,27
The difference between the 2 equations is: 1, 3, 9 which itself is a geometric sequence so the nth term of this new equation is: 
.
Combine these 2 equations together and you get:
.
<span>Answer:
The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.
e.g. Say you have a number 100.
You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100.
Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back.
Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100
So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4)
Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5)
or
Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100
You want the cumulative change to be 0.
a + b + ab/100 = 0
If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number,
25 + b + 25b/100 = 0
5b/4 = -25
b = -20
So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
