Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 6th term of an arithmetic progression is 35 and the 13th term is 77. find the 1st term

We know we have an arithmetic sequence.

a_n = (n - 1)*d + a_1

given:

a_6 = 35 = (6-1)*d + a_1

a_13 = (13 -1)*d + a_1 = 77

find a_1

we have  35 = 5d + a_1

and  77 = 12d + a_1

2 equations in 2 unknowns.

We can solve this.

77 = 12d + a_1

35 = 5d + a_1

minus  the 2 equations from each other.

77 - 35 = 12d - 5d + a_1 - a_1

42 = 7d

d = 6

Find a_1

35 = 5*6 + a_1

35 = 30 + a_1

a_1 = 35 -30 = 5

a_1 = 5

A new Community Sport complex is being built in safe harbor the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 402 yards the leng
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

<h2>length = 159 yards</h2><h2>width = 42 yards</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

Perimeter = 402 yards

The statement

the length of the field is 9 yards less than quadruple the width is written as

l = 4w - 9

Substitute this is expression into the above formula and solve for the width

That's

402 = 2( 4w - 9) + 2w

402 = 8w - 18 + 2w

10w = 402 + 18

10w = 420

Divide both sides by 10

<h3>w = 42</h3>

Substitute this value into l = 4w - 9

That's

l = 4(42) - 9

l = 168 - 9

<h3>l = 159</h3>

Therefore

length = 159 yards

width = 42 yards

Hope this helps you

One serving of oatmeal provides 16% of the fiber you need daily. You must get the remaining 21 grams of fiber from other sources
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>You should consume 25 grams of fiber daily.

The oatmeal represents 16% of the fiber.
The rest of the fiber (21 grams) is 84%.

If 21 grams = 84%, then 1 gram = 4%.
If 1 gram = 4%, then 25 grams = 100%.</span>
