- 5x.
In case you actually want to know how I got it:
the question is just saying "8x - 13x".
8 - 13 = -5
Answer:
The common difference is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for an arithmetic sequence is
an = a1+d(n-1)
a1 = -5
a10 = 13
Substituting n=10 a10=13 and a1 =-5
13 = -5 +d (10-1)
13 = -5 +9d
Add 5 to each side
13+5 = -5+5 +9d
18 = 9d
Divide each side by 9
18/9 = 9d/9
2 =d
N% x 1.60 = 6 (I turned it from English to math)
Can't move n% back two places to make it a decimal so I will move the number I am multiplying by n% back two places instead.
Here is a sample to show you why it works. .34 x 57 = 34 x .57
So
.016n = 6 (.016 is 1.60 decimal moved back two places)
Now divide both sides by .016
<u>.016</u>n = <u>6
</u><u />.016 .016 n = 375%
Why is the percent over 100% you might ask?
What % of 1.60 is 1.60 (Answer - all of it or 100%)
So What % of 1.60 is 6 - the number 6 being much bigger than 1.60, it is not surprising that the percent is more than 100.
What % of 1.60 is 1.60 - 100%
What % of 1.60 is 3.20 - 200% (notice that 3.20 is twice 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 4.80 - 300% (notice that 4.80 is three times 1.60)
What % of 1.6 is 6.40 - 400% (notice that 6.40 is four times 1.60)
6 (the number in the problem) is just a bit less than 6.40 so 375% makes a lot a sense.
Hope you found this helpful.
Nick = n
Ray = r
n=3r-30
n+r=74
3r-30+r=74
4r-30=74
4r=104
r=26
n=26*3-30
n=78-30
n=48
Nick is 48 years old and Ray is 26 years old
Hope this helps.
Divide 298 by 4 then you should get your answer
