Answer:
342 red apples
Step-by-step explanation:
42+87+29=158
500-158=342
To solve for C, you have to get both of the numbers with a C on the same side. So, subtract the 5c from the right side onto the left side.
Then, divide by 3 on each side.
So, c = 7.
Answer:
This sum is the sum of an arithmetic sequence. There is a formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence which can be looked up or derived by a variety of means.
A nice approach for this sequence is the following. Notice that the sum of first and last number in the sequence is the same as the sum of the second and second last, and also the same as the sum of the third and third last, and so on.
There are n of these pairs. So the desired sum is n x (first number + last number). But the first number is 1 and the last on is 2n. Thus the desired sum is n(1 + 2n).
Hope this helps!!

The ratio would be 16:14 and then simplify it to 8:7
