If 24, x, and 6 form the first three terms of an arithmetic sequence

<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

Ratio of two complementary angles is 3:7. What's the measures of both angles
Advocard [28]
The total 'parts' of the ratio is 10 (3+7).
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees.
Divide 90 by 10 and you get 9.
Each 'part' is 9.
3:7 * 9 = 27:63
One angle is 27 degrees and the other is 63 degrees.

Evelina took 50 people fishing each day last week. The table shows the number of fish the group caught each day.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

152

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of fish caught is at a constant decreasing rate of 17. 203-186=17, 186-169=17, 169-17=152. So all you have to do is subtract the constant rate from the last known number.

the cost of printing a store flyer is 440 for 1000 copies and 880 for 2000 copies. write a linear equation for modeling this dat
Anna35 [415]
Since they tell us that this is linear, having a constant rate of change, we can express this as a line:

y=mx+b, where m=slope (change in y divided by change in x) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)

First find the slope, or m, which mathematically is:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:

m=(880-440)/(2000-1000)

m=440/1000

m=0.44, so far our line is:

y=0.44x+b, now we can use either data point to solve for b, I'll use (1000,440)

440=0.44(1000)+b

440=440+b

0=b, so our line is just:

y=0.44x
