We are given
arithmetic sequence: u(1)= 124, u(2)= 117, u(3)= 110, u(4)=103
so, first term is 124
u(1)= 124
now, we can find common difference



now, we can find kth term

now, we can plug values
and we get



u(k) must be negative
so,


now, we can solve for k


so, it's closest integer value is
..............Answer
Your answer would be 4.23 as the answer will be a long one, estimated.
Your answer to this problem is 15
10 + 2 - 15 / 3 = 7
Hope it helped :)
I assume you mean x squared in the first equation
Because both are equal to y, they are equal to each other so x + 5 = x^2 +3
If we then move everything over to one side, we get x^2 - x - 2 = 0
Then factorise it to (x-2)(x+1) = 0
And solve both parts separately
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
x-2 = 0
x = 2
Sub both values into the simplest equation in this case y=x+5
to get y = 4 and y = 7
Answer:
60 oz of water to add
45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = amt no. ounces in the first solution
and 105 - x = amt no. of ounces in the second solution
Ist solution contains 0% salt
2nd solution contains .35(105 - x) salt
.15(105= amt of salt in mix
So.
amt of salt in 1st solution + amt of salt in 2nd solution = amt of salt in the mix
0 + .35(105 - x) = .15(105)
Let's get rid of the fractions by multipying thru the equation by 100
35(105 - x) = 15(105)
3675 - 35x = 1575
-35x = -2100
x = 60 oz of water to add
105 - 60 = 45 oz of 35% salt solution should be used
