As given arithmetic sequence is :-

-17 , -13 , -9

So, here we have to find a12

a ( 1st term ) = -17

d ( common difference) = a2 - a1

d = -13 -(-17)

d = 4

nth place = a12

Now we know that to find any term we apply formula :-

an = a + (n-1)d

So putting Values in above mentioned formula :-

a12 = -17 + ( 12-1) 4

a12 = -17 + (11)4

a12 = -17 + 44

Hope it helps

One vegetable warehouse had 210 tons of potatoes, another one had 180 tons. 90 tons of potatoes were delivered to the first and

vivado [14]

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for first warehouse would be:

210 + 90x

The equation for 2nd warehouse would be:

180 + 120x

Where x is he number of days.

<em><u>In how many days will the first warehouse have 1.2 times less potatoes than the second warehouse?</u></em>

This means the first warehouse expression TIMES 1.2 would give us 2nd warehouse expression. Equating and solve:

$180+120x=1.2(210+90x)\\180+120x=252+108x\\12x=72\\x=\frac{72}{12}\\x=6$

So it would require 6 days
