3, 1, -1, -3, -5
 -2  -2  -2  -2

a(n) = a₁ + d(n - 1)
a(n) = 3 - 2(n - 1)
a(n) = 3 - 2(n) + 2(1)
a(n) = 3 - 2n + 2
a(n) = -2n + 3 + 2
a(n) = -2n + 5
   a₁₄ = -2(14) + 5
   a₁₄ = -28 + 5
   a₁₄ = -23

The answer is C.

Examine the system of equations. y = 3 2 x − 6, y = −9 2 x + 21 Use substitution to solve the system of equations. What is the v
nadezda [96]

Answer:

<h2>y = -4/9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations y = 3/2 x − 6, y = −9/2 x + 21, since both expressions are functions of y, we will equate both of them to find the variable x;

3/2 x − 6 = −9/2 x + 21,

Cross multiplying;

3(2x+21) = -9(2x-6)

6x+63 = -18x+54

collecting the like terms;

6x+18x = 54-63

24x = -9

x = -9/24

x = -3/8

To get the value of y, we will substitute x = -3/8 into any of the given equation. Using the first equation;

y = 3/2x-6

y = 3/{2(-3/8)-6}

y = 3/{(-3/4-6)}

y = 3/{(-3-24)/4}

y = 3/(-27/4)

y = 3 * -4/27

y = -4/9

Hence, the value of y is -4/9

Haley makes earrings and packages them into cube boxes that measure 1/6 foot wide. how many 1/6 foot cubic boxes can she fit int
navik [9.2K]

Answer: 28\ cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube can be found with this formula:

V_{(c)}=s^3

Where "s" is the lenght of any edge of the cube.

The formula for calculate the volume of a rectangular prism is:

V_{rp}=lwh

Where "l" is the lenght, "w" is the width and "h" is the height.

We need to find the volume of a cube box:

V_1=s^3=(\frac{1}{6}ft)^3=\frac{1}{216}ft^3

To find the volume of the shipping box, first we must convert the mixed number to  an improper fraction:

1\frac{1}{6}=\frac{(6*1)+1}{6}=\frac{7}{6}

Then the volume of the shipping box is:

V_2=lwh\\\\V_2=(\frac{7}{6}ft)(\frac{1}{3}ft)(\frac{1}{3}ft)=\frac{7}{54}ft^3

Now, in order to find the  number of cube boxes can Haley fits into a shipping box, you must divide the the volume of the shipping box by the volume of one cube. This is:

\frac{\frac{7}{54}ft^3}{\frac{1}{216}ft^3}=28

Which of these numbers is between 5/6 and 1?<br> (A) 4/5 <br> (B) 4/7 <br> (C)6/7
djverab [1.8K]
Two basic ways in which to do this problem:

1.  Find and apply the LCD.

2.  Convert all of the given numbers to their decimal form, to 2 or 3 places only.

Try #2 first:

5/6 = 0.83    

4/5 = 0.80 is not between 5/6 and 1.  Reject it.
4/7 = 0.57 Reject
6/7 = 0.86 This is between 5/6 and1.  This is the answer.
