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.

poizon [28]

The weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles was 3:4

Let 3x and 4x are the seeds from the smaller and bigger pile.

= 4x + 2  (greedy hamster placed another 2 pounds of seeds in the bigger pile)

= 3x - 1/4 (ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile)

4x + 2 = 5x

Because the quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16

After solving:

x = 2

Smaller pile weight = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bigger pile wieght = 4x = 4(2) = 8

Thus, the weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
