7.5x+40=70=> 7.5x=30=>x=30/7.5 so x = 4 people

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 33 students wore blue jeans .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of black pants.

Given : For the choir concert, the choir director has asked that everyone wear either black pants or blue jeans.

Three times as many students wore black pants as blue jeans.

i.e. Number of blue pants = 4x

If there are forty-four students in the choir, then we have

$x+3x=44\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x=44$

Divide both sides by 4 , we get

$x=11$

Thus , the number of black pants = 11

Then , the number of blue pants = $3\times11=33$

Therefore, 33 students wore blue jeans .

In triangle A B D , the measure of angle A is 10 degree less than the measure of angle B . The measure of angle D is 20 degree m

elixir [45]

Answer:

<u><em>Measure of angle A is 27 7/9 degrees.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call measure of angle A is <em><u>X-10</u></em>

Lets call measure of angle B is X

Lets call measure of angle D is 2.5X+20

We know that the sum of triangles add up to 180 degrees

X+X-10+2.5X+20=180

X=37 7/9

So measure of angle A is 27 7/9 degrees.

I hope this is right. :)

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence.

netineya [11]

We are given the series of <span>a1 = -5 a2 = 20 a3 = -80. In this case, we can see that this is a geometric sequence with a geometric ratio equal to 20/-5 = -80/ 20 or equal to 4. Hence, r is equal to 4, a1 is equal to -5.

The geometric sequence formula is an = a1*r^(n-1) = -5 * (-4)^ (n-1) where n is an integer. Answer is B.</span>

Find how many terms of the following series are needed to make the given sum: 5+8+11+14+...=670?

Fynjy0 [20]

You need 16 more terms not 17 because you already have 4 terms in the series so if you add those 4 terms to the other 16 terms to the series you get a total of 20 terms in total. I hope this helped.
