The first term (a) is - 18
You add 5 to get to the next term. Or you can solve it by taking any 2 consecutive terms and find their difference.
Formula
d = t4- t3
Givens
t4 = - 3
t3 = - 8
Solution 1
d = t4 - t3 Substitute
d = -3 - ( - 8) Remove the brackets
d = -3 + 8 Combine
d = 5 Difference
Remark
Find the general formula
tn = - a + (n - 1)d Substitute
So term 20 = Example
t20 = -18 + (20 - 1)*5 Combine the inside of the brackets. Remove the brackets
t20 = - 18 + 19*5 Combine 19 and 5
t20 = -18 + 95 "Subtract"
t20 = 77 Answer
Answer:
the solution is (-4, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 8y = -8
x + 4y = 4
... can be solved using elimination by addition and subtraction, among other methods. Multiply the second equation by -2 to obtain
6x + 8y = -8
-2x - 8y = -8
Combining these results in
4x = -16. Thus, x = -4.
Substituting -4 for x in x + 4y = 4 results in
-4 + 4y = 4, or 4y = 8, or y = 2
Then the solution is (-4, 2)
= 394 R 1
= 394 1/3
1183 divided by 3 equals
394 with a remainder of 1
Raw material for 500 units per week = 500 x $10 = $5000
Cost of hiring 20 workers per week = 20 x 40 x 25 = $12000
Rental = $2250
Total = 5000 + 12000 + 2250 = $19 250
