Answer: The closest answer I got is 9 5/6 hours
If

is the common difference between terms in the sequence

, then



...

You're told that

(the sum of the first 16 terms in the sequence, presumably). Well, we know that


Recall that

so that we have

So we get
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the first equation 15 × 0 = -36 + a
15 × 0 = 0
therefore, -36 + a =0
In the second equation
24 × 8 × 0 = 36 - b
Consider the LS
24 × 8 × 0 = 0
Therefore, 36 - b = 0
we are left with the two equations,
36 - b = 0
-36 + a = 0
then, we calculate the number that can be substituted to satisfy the two equations.
solving the equations
b = 36, and a = 36
Therefore, 36 is the number that can be used to substitute a and b in the equations
