256 • 0.40 = 102.4
Since .4 is an impossible answer, round down to 102

Find the seventh term of the sequence given by the rule t = -5n+2

Artemon [7]

I would go with -33 cause if you replace the t with -33 you would have to solve the problem and it would be 7 so -33 is the answer.

Evaluate 3^2 + (5-2) X 4 - 6/3

muminat

Answer:

The result is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^{2} + (5-2)x4 - 6/3$

Step 1: Parenthesizing (5-2)=3

$3^{2} + 3x4 - 6/3$

Step 2: Exponentiation $3^{2}=9$

$9 + 3x4 - 6/3$

Step 3: Multiplication and division 3x4=12 and 6/3=2

$9 + 12 - 2$

Step 4: Addition and subtraction 9+12=21, and 21-2=19

21-2

19

The operations are ordered from highest to lowest in the order:

1. Parenthesizing,

2. Factorial,

3. Exponentiation,

4. Multiplication and division,

5. Addition and subtraction.

Hope this helps!

Javier is considering two lawn care services. Premier Landscaping charges $15.00 for travel to the job site and $55.00 per hour

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fixed Variable

Premier Landscaping charges $15 $55

Ace Landscaping charges $65

Find:

Time in which both companies charge same cost:

Computation:

Assume in X time both companies charge same cost:

So,

Premier Landscaping total cost = Ace Landscaping total cost

⇒ $15 + $55(Time taken) = $65 (Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $65 (Time taken) - $55(Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $10 (Time taken)

⇒ Time taken = 1.5 hour

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.
