Answer:

Teresa drive <u>90 miles</u> on Tuesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Teresa drove on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

On monday her driving distance was 120 miles.

The ratio of Wednesdays distance is 3/5.

The ratio of Wednesdays distance to Tuesday's distance is 5/4.

Now, to find the miles Teresa drive on Tuesday:

Teresa driving distance on Monday was = 120 miles.

Her driving distance on Wednesday is = \frac{3}{5}\ of\ 120.

=\frac{3}{5} \times 120\\\\=0.6\times 120\\\\=72\ miles.

Now, her driving distance on Tuesday is:

\frac{5}{4} \ of\ 72\\\\=\frac{5}{4} \times 72\\\\=1.25\times 72\\\\=90\ miles.

Therefore, Teresa drive 90 miles on Tuesday.

The perimeter of a triangle is 199 inches. If one side of the triangle is six more than the shorter side, and the longer side is
Keith_Richards [23]
Shortest side (a) = 58
middle side (b) = 64
longest side (c) = 77

the 3 sides a + b + c = 199
b = a + 6
c = a + 19

substitute your new values for b & c into your original formula, so:
a + (a+6) + (a+19) = 199
3a + 25 = 199
3a = 174
a = 58

then substitute 58 into your b & c formulas to figure out the rest
b = a + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
c = a + 19 = 58 + 19 = 77

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1
Anarel [89]

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 =  30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.
