Answer:

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(-2) or

tn = 9 - 2n

Step-by-step explanation:

You are (beginning with 7) subtracting 2 from the term to the left.

a = 7

d = -2

tn = a1 + (n - 1)*d

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(-2)

Try this out on n = 4

t4 = 7 + (4 - 1)*-2

t4 = 7 + (3) (-2)

t4 = 7 - 6

t4 = 1 just as it says.

More generally

tn = 7 + (n - 1)*-2

tn = 7 + (-2n) + 2

tn = 9 - 2n

$125x + 200 \geqslant 1200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1000 \\ x \geqslant 8$

$x \: \alpha \: y \\ y = kx \\ 2.00 = k \times 8 \\ k = \frac{2.00}{8} \\ k = 0.25$

You roll a fair 6 sided dice. What is p(not 5)?

liq [111]

Answer:

p(not 5) = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that we roll a 5 is 1/6. So, the probability we don't roll a five is simple 1 minus that:

$1-\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

And that's your answer.

Harrison mows lawns for 11 hours, so m = 11. How much money does he make in September

Vlad1618 [11]

There is not a lot of information to go off of...so I think that if he mows for 11 hours a day it would be 330 hours. Also, you did not give how much he makes from this.

330hrs x how much he makes from 11hrs= $

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

average is calculated as

average = $\frac{sum}{count}$

$\frac{sum}{2}$ = 13 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

sum of 2 eldest = 26

Then for the 4 children

average = $\frac{26+2+4}{4}$ = $\frac{32}{4}$ = 8
