First figure out Info needed
So 142 people 6 drivers
2 vehicles of which are bus and vans
Van:capacity of 10 Bus:capacity of 51
So plug in x for buses and y for vans
x+y+6=142
Subtract 6
x+y=136
51 times 2 gives you 102 for the bus capacity so two buses
x(2)+y=136
51(2)+y=136
102+y=136
Subtract 102
Giving you 34
y=34
4 vans because
34 divided by 10 is 3.4 but there is no 3.4 van so round up to 4
You end up needing 2 buses and 4 vans

ashleigh rode her bicycle 26.5 miles in 4 hours which gives the best estimate of how far ashleigh rode in 1 hour.
Advocard [28]
26.5 miles in 4 hours is stating 26.5 miles per 4 miles.
To find out how far it is in one mile, you can either make a proportion or divide 26.5 miles per mile by 4.
Division:
\frac{26.5}{4}/ \frac{4}{4}
\frac{26.5}{4}=6.625
\frac{4}{4}=1
26.5 miles per 4 hours = 6.625 mph
Proportions:
\frac{26.5}{4}= \frac{x}{1}
26.5=4x
6.625=x
In one hour, Ashleigh traveled 6.625 miles in 1 hour.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

a_{n} = 2n + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 8 and d = 2 , then

a_{n} = 8 + 2(n - 1) = 8 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 6
