Answer:
_=125.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The GCF is 7, so factor 7 from each term yields 7(3x - 2)
Answer: 167
Step-by-step explanation: To find the 76th term of this arithmetic sequence, we will be using our explicit formula which is shown below.
Since we want to determine the 76th term, we are going
to substitute 76 in for <em>n</em> in our explicit formula.
Then, will be our first term in our sequence which is 17.
Lastly, <em>d</em> is our common difference or the difference between each of the terms in our arithmetic sequence which is 2.
So we have .
Now we have all the information we need. Just simplify from here.
Make sure to apply order of operations because this is where many
students make mistakes. Inside the parentheses first!
(76 - 1) is going to be 75.
So we have .
Then, we have to make sure we multiply before we add.
So (75)(2) is going to give us 150.
So we have .
Now just add to find that .
So the 76th term is 167.
Answer = –3/2
Use rise/run to find the gradient, while finding the difference between the two points.
Equation of slope:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
-1-2 / 3-1
–3/ 2
Slope = –3/2
For each ounce of the product, let
x = ounces of moisturizing lotion used,
y = ounces of self-tanning lotion used.
The sum of the two lotions per ounce is equal to one ounce. Therefore
x + y = 1 (1)
Moisturizing lotion costs $0.70 per ounce.
Self-tanning lotion costs $22 per ounce.
Because the product costs $1.30 per ounce. Therefore
0.70x + 22y = 1.30 (2)
From (1), obtain
y = 1 - x (3)
Substitute (3) into (2).
0.70x + 22(1 - x) = 1.30
0.70x - 22x + 22 = 1.30
-21.3x = -20.7
x = 0.9718 ounces
From (3), obtain
y = 1 - 0.9718 = 0.0282 ounces.
A batch of the product is 700 ounces. Therefore the amount of self-tanning lotion used is
700*y = 700*0.0282 = 19.74 ounces
Answer: 19.74 ounces
