<h3>Answer:  15</h3>

===============================================

Work Shown:

d = common difference

p = first term = 24

q = second term = a+d = 24+d

r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6

------------

Solve for d

24+2d = 6

2d = 6-24

2d = -18

d = -18/2

d = -9

We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.

------------

First term = 24

Second term = 24-9 = 15

Third term = 15-9 = 6

We get the sequence 24, 15, 6

We have JM=ML due to the relation between sides and angles
Set 3x+4 = 5x-16
=> x= 28/5
Substitute back to the equation ( either one would work be cause they are equal) : 3 ( 28/5) +4 = 20.8
We have JL = JM+ML
=> JL = 20.8+20.8 = 41.6

Slips of paper are numbered 1 through 10. If one slip is drawn and replaced 40 times, how many times should the slip with number
Masja [62]

Hey there!

We have 10 pieces of paper. The probability of drawing a 10 is 1/10.  Therefore, if we were to draw ten times, the ten should probably be drawn once. If we multiplied our number of drawings by four (10*4=40), our outcome of seeing our slip with the ten should also quadruple and become four times. (1*4=4)

I hope that this helps! Have an awesome day!
