Let's say Jackson's age now is x.

In 20 years, (so 20+x), Jackson seven years ago will be 2/5ths of that age.

So 2/5(20+x)=x-7

Then you solve the equation
8+2/5x=x-7
15=3/5x
x=25
Jackson is 25 years old. 

Let's check our answer! In 20 years, Jackson will be 45. 7 years ago, he was 18. 2/5 of 45 is 18. Our answer is correct!

What is the explict rule for the sequence 12,22,32,42​
icang [17]

The explicit rule for given sequence is:

a_n=2+10n

Further explanation:

We have to determine first of all if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

  • If the difference of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is arithmetic sequence
  • If the ratio of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is geometric sequence

Given sequence is:

12,22,32,42​

a_1=12\\a_2=22\\a_3=32\\.......\\Let\\d=Common\ difference\\d=a_2-a_1=22-12=10\\d=a_3-a_2=32-22=10

The common difference is 10 which is same for all consecutive terms. So the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

The general formula for arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\Here,\\a_n\ is\ the\ nth\ term\\a_1\ is\ the\ first\ term\\d\ is\ the\ common\ difference

Putting the values of a1 and d

a_n= 12+(n-1)(10)\\a_n=12+10n-10\\a_n=2+10n

The explicit rule for given sequence is:

a_n=2+10n

Which is another way to check the sum of 104+34+228+877?
Alex787 [66]
The answer is digit sum method.

Digit sum method is method used to check the sum of sum numbers. If the sum of all of the digits of numbers is equal to the sum of all of the digits of the total sum, then the arithmetic process was correct.

We need to check the sum of <span>104+34+228+877:
</span>104 + 34 + 228 + 877 = 1243

Let's first summarize the digits of individual numbers:
104 *** 1 + 0 + 4 = 5
34 *** 3 + 4 = 7
228 *** 2 + 2 + 8 = 12 *** 1 + 2 = 3
877 *** 8 + 7 + 7 = 22 *** 2 + 2 = 4

Now, let's sum these sums:
5 + 7 + 3 + 4 = 19 *** 1 + 9 = 10 *** 1 + 0 = <u><em>1</em></u>

Then, let's summarize the digits of the total sum:
1243 *** 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 10 *** 1 + 0 = <u><em>1</em></u>

Since the sums of the digits on the both sides of equation is 1, than the arithmetic process was correct and the sum of <span>104 + 34 + 228 + 877 is really 1243.</span>
