7 1/2 pages divided by 9 minutes is 5/6 pages per minute.
Simplifying
2x + -3(3 * 0.6x + 2.7)
Multiply 3 * 0.6
2x + -3(1.8x + 2.7)
Reorder the terms:
2x + -3(2.7 + 1.8x)
2x + (2.7 * -3 + 1.8x * -3)
2x + (-8.1 + -5.4x)
Reorder the terms:
-8.1 + 2x + -5.4x
Combine like terms: 2x + -5.4x = -3.4x
-8.1 + -3.4x
Answer:
nth term = 1 + n(13/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
3n + n/4 + 1
n = 1, 3(1) + (1)/4 + 1 = 4 + ¼ = 17/4
n = 2, 3(2) + (2)/4 + 1 = 7 + ½ = 30/4
n = 3, 3(3) + (3)/4 + 1 = 10 + ¾ = 43/4
n = 4, 3(4) + (4)/4 + 1 = 14 = 56/4
The difference between consecutive terms is 13/4
At n = 1, 17/4 = 1 + 1(13/4)
At n = 2, 30/4 = 1 + 2(13/4)
nth term = 1 + n(13/4)
That would be 74 because when you divide 148/2=74
