Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n - 1)d ]

where d is the common difference and a is the first term

here d = 9 - 7 = 7 - 5 = 2 and a = 5, hence

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}[(2 × 5) + 2(n - 1) ]

                        = \frac{n}{2}(10 + 2n - 2)

                        = \frac{n}{2}(2n + 8)

                        = n² + 4n

When sum = 165, then

n² + 4n = 165 ← rearrange into standard form

n² + 4n - 165 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 15)(n - 11) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 15 = 0 ⇒ n = - 15

n - 11 = 0 ⇒ n = 11

but n > 0 ⇒ n = 11

What is AE ? <br><br><br> ___ units
sattari [20]


We can form two ratios to help us solve this:

(2x+6):10 = (x+6):8


(2x+6)         (x+6)
---------   =   --------
   10              8


Cross multiply:
8(2x+6) = 10(x+6)

Foil:
16x + 48 = 10x + 60

Move like variables to the same side:
16x - 10x = 60 - 48
6x = 12
x = 2

Line AE = 2x+6
Plug 2 for x into the equation: 2(2) + 6 = 10

Hope this helps, and May the Force Be With You!
