\text{the three consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence}\\a;\ a+d;\ a+2d\\\\\text{system of equals}\\\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+a+d+a+2d=27\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3a+3d=27&|:3\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+d=9&\to d=9-a\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\
\text{substitute to the second equation}\\\\a(a+9-a)(a+2(9-a))=585\\\\a(9)(a+18-2a)=585\\9a(18-a)=585\ \ \ |:9\\a(18-a)=65\\18a-a^2=65\ \ \ |\text{change the signs}\\a^2-18a=-65\\a^2-2a\cdot9=-65\ \ \ |+9^2\\\underbrace{a^2-2a\cdot9+9^2}_{(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2}=-65+9^2\\(a-9)^2=16\to a-9\pm\sqrt{16}\\a-9=-4\ \vee\ a-9=4\ \ \ |+9\\a=5\ \vee\ a=13\\\\d=9-5=4\ \vee\ d=9-13=-4
Answer:\ a=5;\ a+d=9; a+2d=13\ vee\ a=13;\ a+d=9;\ a+2d=5

The ratio of blue jays to Robin's was 6 to 7. If there were 84 Robins, how many blue jays were there?​
Paul [167]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since the ratio of blue jays to robin's was 6 to 7 then if there were 84 robins how many blue jays were there.</em>

<em>6 to 7 can also be express as 6/7</em>

<em>Thus, we can set up a proportion</em>

<em>6/7 = x/84</em>

<em>Now, we have to solve for x</em>

<em>x = 72</em>

<em>Hence, if there were 84 robin there would be 72 blue jays.</em>
