the fourth term of an arithmetic sequence is 141, and the seventh term is 132. what is the first term?

1 answer:

7 0

The 1st, 4th, and 7th terms make an arithmetic sequence of their own. The 4th term is the average of the 1st and 7th, so ...
(1st +7th)/2 = 4th
1st + 7th = 2×4th
1st = 2×4th - 7th

The first term is ...
2*141 - 132 = 150

A 47-foot-long piece of pipe is to be cut into three pieces. The second piece is three times as long as the first piece, and the

DanielleElmas [232]

A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft
