An= mth term.
an=a₁+(n-1)*d

a₁₂=41
a₁₅=140

a₁₂=41
41=a₁+(12-1)*d
41=a₁+11d 
a₁+11d=41    (1)

a₁₅=140
140=a₁+(15-1)*d
140=a₁+14d 
a₁+14d=140    (2)

With the equiations (1) and (2)  build a system of equations
a₁+11d=41
a₁+14d=140

we solve it.
-(a₁+11d=41)
  a₁+14d=140
--------------------
       3d=99  ⇒d=99/3=33

a₁+11d=41
a₁+(11*33)=41
a₁+363=41
a₁=41-363=-322

an=a₁+(n-1)*d
an=-322+(n-1)*33
an=-322+33n-33
an=-355+33n

an=-355+33n

To check:
a₁₂=-355+33*12=-355+396=41
a₁₅=-355+33*15=-355+495=140.

The correct answer is B. Two out of every five people in the shopping center are in the clothing store.

Step-by-step explanation:

To establish this answer we have to know the total number of people that were in the Shopping Center. So, we have to add people from every store.

48+96+20+64+12=240

The result of this operation is 240 people.

Later we have to divide the total number in 5 and multiply by 2.

So, the operation is

240/5 = 48

48x2=96

According to the above, the correct answer is B. Two out of every five people in the shopping center are in the clothing store.

Carly solved a quadratic equation by completing the square, but her work has errors. Identify the first error in Carly's work.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Her first error was adding the wrong number to both sides. Instead of 4², it should be 2²

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing the square, the number that needs to be added to both sides is (b/2)²

In this problem, b is 4. So, Carly should have added 2² to both sides, but she added 4² instead.

So, her first error was adding 4² to both sides instead of 2²
