Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for this would be:
n+8=14, since we are adding 8 to a number and getting 14
To solve, isolate the variable n, by subtracting 8 from both sides
n+8=14
n+8-8=14-8
n=6
The number is 6
Answer:
24.6 % decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original temperature
Increase by 25%
x + .25x
1.25x
Decrease by 40%
The amount decreased is
(1.25x) *.40
.496x
Subtract that from 1.25x
1.25x - .496x
.754x
We need to find the percent decrease
1 - .754 = .246
24.6 % decrease
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a(n) = (-n)^3 where n = 1,2,3,...
Discussion:
The pattern 1,8,27, 64... is immediately recognizable as the the cube of the positive integers. But this question has a minus sign appearing before each entry, suggesting we try this:
- 1 = (-1)^3
-8 = (-2)^3
-27 = (-3)^3
-64 = (-4)^3
That's what the problem statement asked for
. The answer is equivalently
-1 * (n^3)
Thank you,
MrB
