Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 3(1) - 7 = - 4

a2 = 3(2) - 7 = -1

d = a2 - a1

d = -1 - (-4)

d = -1 + 4

d = 3

a60 = 3(60) - 7

a60 = 180 - 7

a60 = 173

n = 60

Sum = (a1 + a60) * n / 2

Sum = (-4 + 173) * 60/2

Sum = (169)*30

Sum = 5070

==================

Just to check, we'll use the second summation formula

d = 3

n = 60

a1 = -4

Sum = (2*a1 + (n - 1)*d )*n / 2

Sum = (2*(-4) + (60 -1)*3)* 60/2

Sum = (-8 + 59*3) * 30

Sum = (177 - 8)*30

Sum = 169 * 30

Sum = 5070

Same answer.

Mr. F is buying 8 computers for the computer lab. if one computer costs $1,156, How much will the computers cost in all?

Andreas93 [3]

answer: $9248

explanation:

well, we know the cost for one, so if each computer costs the same, multiply the cost of one of them by 8 to get the total.

8 x 1,156 = 9248.

so, we can assume this is what the computers will cost in total because there seems to be no added tax or fees.

i hope this helps, and have a great day! don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this specific question! ♥ - eviezoom

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for 'x', isolate it. This means to keep 'x' on one side of the equal sign, while moving the other numbers to the other side. The numbers on the other side will tell you what 'x' equals to.

When 'moving' a number to the other side, you cancel it out where it originally is by doing reverse operations. (Reverse operation pairs are addition/subtraction and division/multiplication). To keep an equation balanced, what you do to one side you have to do to the other.

$\frac{3}{8}x-17=10$ Keep 'x' on the left and move everything over.
