The distance traveled by the balloon in every minute makes an arithmetic sequence with a first term equal to 40 ft and common difference equal to 20. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by,
                                     an = a1 + (n - 1) x d
Substituting,
                                      an = 40 + (15 - 1) x 20 = 320
Thus, the answer is letter B. 320 feet.

Evaluate 33/5 - 1/10
azamat

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{13}{2}=6\dfrac{1}{2}=6.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the different denominators.

The common denominator is 10.

\dfrac{33}{5}=\dfrac{33\cdot2}{5\cdot2}=\dfrac{66}{10}

We can subtract these fractions now.

\dfrac{33}{5}-\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{66}{10}-\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{66-1}{10}=\dfrac{65:5}{10:5}=\dfrac{13}{2}\\\\\dfrac{13}{2}=\dfrac{12+1}{2}=6\dfrac{1}{2}

Solve: x³-7x²+36=0.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

3,6,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

a+2a+b = 7

2a^2b = -36

a*2a + ab + 2ab = 0

or, a(2a+3b) = 0

so, b = -2a/3

Solve those and you find 3,6,-2

Can someone please explain

Start by defining variables (things you don't know). Let's make:
t = number of true/false questions
m = number of multiple choice questions

Equation #1
total questions on the test (given to be 20) is then:
t + m = 20

Equation #2
Multiply the number of questions by the points it's worth to get the total points
3t + 11m = 100

Now, you can use substitution to combine the two equations.

t + m = 20
by subtracting m from both sides, equation 1# becomes..
t = 20 - m

substitute t for 20 - m in the second equation.
3(20 - m) + 11m = 100

Solve for m.
3(20 - m) + 11m = 100
60 - 3m + 11m = 100
8m = 100 - 60
8m = 40
m = 5

There are 5 multiple choice questions on the test.
Now use this to find t.
t + m = 20 
t + 5 = 20
t = 20 - 5
t = 15

there are 15 true/false questions on the test.
