Answer:

The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is x.

The common difference is d.

The second term is x + d.

3rd term: x + 2d

4th term: x + 3d

7th term: x + 6d

"The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term"

x + 3d = 3 * x       Eq. 1

"the seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1"

x + 6d = 2(x + 2d) + 1       Eq. 2

Simplify Eq. 1:

2x = 3d

Simplify Eq. 2:

x + 6d = 2x + 4d + 1

x = 2d - 1

Multiply both sides of the last equation by 2.

2x = 4d - 2

2x = 3d   (simplified Eq. 1)

Since 2x = 2x, then the right sides are equal.

3d = 4d - 2

d = 2

2x = 3d

2x = 3(2)

2x = 6

x = 3

Answer: The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=12bh. Solve this equation for b.
aksik [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

[A = 1/2b*h]

Divide both sides by 'h'.

A/h = 1/2(b*h/h) [ on right side'h' gets cancelled].

Multiply '2' and 'A'.

A*2/h = b

b = 2A/h.

Implify the expression. write your answer using decimals. 22.5 + 7(n−3.4
Tresset [83]
An algebraic expression consists of variables which are represented with letters like for this case we have n, a coefficient which is indicated by numbers (e.g. 22.5, 7 and 3.4 ) and  sometimes exponents Oftentimes expressions contains a number of terms which consists of those elements. To simplify an expression, we need to remember that we can only add and subtract terms that have the same base of the variable. As for multiplying and dividing, we can proceed with these operations accordingly. We simplify as follows:

<span>22.5 + 7(n−3.4)
22.5 + 7n - 23.8
7n - 1.3

The simplified expression would be written as </span>7n - 1.3.
