<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

The volume of the box made by cardboard box company which has a depth of n, a height of 2n+1, and a width of 3n+2, is 6n³+7n²+2n

<h3>What is of volume of rectangular prism?</h3>

Volume of rectangular prism is the amount of quantity, which is obtained in it in the 3 dimensional space.

Volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its width, height and length.

V=w×h×l

Here, (w) is the width of the base (l) is the length and (h) is the height of the rectangular prism.

A cardboard box company designs all of its boxes suc that they have the measure of depth of n, a height of 2n+1, and the measure of width of 3n+2.Thus, the volume of this box is,

V=w×h×l

V=(3n+2)×(2n+1)×(n)

V=(3n+2)×(2n²+n)

V=6n³+3n²+4n²+2n

V=6n³+7n²+2n

Thus, the volume of the box made by cardboard box company which has a depth of n, a height of 2n+1, and a width of 3n+2, is 6n³+7n²+2n

Use picture above.<br><br> Write the ratio. Please explain what the ratio means.
PIT_PIT [208]

1) 2:5 ratio

This is a fairly simple process, you count how many of each and then put them in order the way the question asks.

So there are 5 cans and 2 bottles. The question asks "bottles to cans" so the correct answer HAS to be 2:5, NOT 5:2.

2) 3:1

There is 1 spoon and 3 forks. The question asks "forks to spoons" so the correct answer HAS to be 3:1, NOT 1:3
