Answer:

121

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence.

First term a = -15

Common difference [d] = second term - first term

= -11 - [-15] = -11 + 15 = 4

nth term = a + (n-1) * d

35th term = -15 + (35 - 1) * 4

= -15 + 34 * 4

= - 15 + 136

= 121

Answer:

121 and 257

Step-by-step explanation:

So we would have our equation for arithmetic sequences which is $a_{n} =a_{1} +(n-1)d$ a1 is the first term, n is the term we want to know, and d is the common difference. We would plug in the numbers into the equation so we would get $a_{n} =-15+(35-1)4$ . And if you simplify you would get $a_{n} =121$ .

Than for the other one we would do the same thing so you would get $a_{n} = 121+(35-1)4$ and if you simplify you would get $a_{n} =257$ .

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality m > 225? A. The community theater's auditorium can seat at most 225 people.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

<h3>B. The number of people who attended the mathematics conference was more than 225.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality m > 225, the inequality means that m is greater than 225. Since the inequality sign does not include equal to sign, then the value of m cannot be less than and equal to 225. The situation that best fits the expression based on the explanation above is "The number of people who attended the mathematics conference was more than 225"

Emphasis should be on 'WAS MORE THAN' according to the statement. The greater sign means that the number of people will always be greater than or more than 225 representing the variable <em>m as the number of people.</em>

Create an inequality for the situation below.<br><br> Please help!!

1 gallon of milk costs 0.50 more than 5 times a gallon of water.

From that information milk is 5x +0.50 the cost of water.

The cost of milk is $3.75, so now we have:

3.75 = 5x + 0.50

Subtract 0.50 from each side:

3.25 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 3.25 / 5

x = 0.65

The cost of water = $0.65

Solve for x. <br><br> x = ___

const2013 [10]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

$\frac{little}{big} =\frac{little}{big}$ .

$\frac{36}{36 + 12}=\frac{24}{24 + 6x - 4}$

To solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$36(24 + 6x - 4)=(36+12)(24)\\36(6x + 20)=48(24)\\216x + 720 = 1152 \\216x = 432\\\frac{216x}{216}=\frac{432}{216} \\x = 2$
