Answer:

-184

Step-by-step explanation:

First we plug in -14 into the x's.

4 (-14) - 8(2 - (- 14))

Then we can distribute the 8.

4 (-14) - 16 - 112

Then solve from here.

-56 - 16 - 112

= -184

Answer:

35 glasses of classic milk tea

15 glasses of flavored milk tea

Step-by-step explanation:

You sold 50 glasses of classic and flavored milk tea.

c + f = 50

You made 4700 when classic tea costs 100 and flavored tea costs 80.

100c + 80f = 4700

Use this system of equation to solve. Use substitution. Rearrange the first equation so that it is equal to c. Then, plug the c-value into the second equation.

c + f = 50

c = 50 - f

100c + 80f = 4700

100(50 - f) + 80f = 4700

5000 - 100f + 80f = 4700

5000 - 20f = 4700

-20f = -300

f = 15

Plug the f-value into one of the equations and solve for c.

c + f = 50

c + 15 = 50

c = 35

35 glasses of classic milk tea and 15 glasses of flavored milk tea were sold.

4. Name the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. a1 = -35, d=4

eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write the equation for the sequence, then finding the first five terms will be easy. Follow the formatting:

$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$ and we are given enough info to fill in:

$a_n=-35+4(n-1)$ and

$a_n=-35+4n-4$ and

$a_n=-39+4n$ or in linear format:

$a_n=4n-39$ where n is the position of the number in the sequence. We already know the first term is -35.

The second term:

$a_2=4(2)-39$ so

$a_2=8-39$ and

$a_2=-31$

The third term:

$a_3=4(3)-39$ and

$a_3=12-39$ so

$a_3=-27$ and we could go on like this forever, but the nice thing about this is when we know the difference all we have to do is add it to each number to get to the next number.
