Answer:

an = 30 -5(n-1)  OR   an   = 35 - 5n

a20 =   -65

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an =a1 +d(n-1)

where a1 is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the term number

Substituting what we know

an = 30 -5(n-1)

We can rewrite this by distributing the 5

an = 30 -5n +5

     = 35 - 5n

The 20th term is n=20

a20 = 30 - 5(20-1)

       = 30 -5(19)          

      = 30 - 95

      = -65

Line a is parallel to line b, m 6=85 and m 3=2x. Find m 1.
FromTheMoon [43]
The sum of the angles <6 and <3 must be 180. Since <3 and <1 are opposed to the top, their measure are equal. We need then to calculate the measure of angle >3 = 180 - <6 = 180-85=95

m(<1) = 95

VikaD [51]
For this case, the first thing to do is to calculate the time you were watching the game.
 We have then:
 2:00 - 1:45 = 15 minutes
 Then, the amount of degrees is given by:
 (15/60) * (360) = 90 degrees
 Answer:
 
the minutes hand did turn about:
