So I use the formula hopefully these steps work
Answer:
1, 17, 33, 49
Step-by-step explanation:
given the first term is 1 then the next 3 terms are
1 + d, 1 + 2d, 1 + 3d ( d is the common difference )
the sum of the first 4 terms is 100 , then
1 + 1 + d + 1 + 2d + 1 + 3d = 100 , that is
4 + 6d = 100 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
6d = 96 ( divide both sides by 6 )
d = 16
1 + d = 1 + 16 = 17
1 + 2d = 1 + 2(16) = 1 + 32 = 33
1 + 3d = 1 + 3(16) = 1 + 48 = 49
the first 4 terms are
1, 17, 33, 49
Y=1/3x+1 is the equation for ur question
The two events are related and often or always follow each other
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
