Answer: 145 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1).r

aₙ → last term

a₁ → 1st term

n → quantity of terms

r → common difference

a₁ = 1 (one can at the top)

aₙ₋₁ = 25

aₙ = 28

To find out How many cans are in the entire display, we need the SUM of the arithmetic sequence: S = (a₁+aₙ)n/2

∴

S = (1+28).n/2

n = ?

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1).r

r = 28 - 25 = 3

28 = 1 + (n - 1).3

27 = (n - 1).3

27/3 = (n - 1)

9 = n - 1

n = 9 + 1 = 10

S = (1+28).n/2

S = (1+28).10/2 = 29.10/2 = 29.5 = 145

1. x + 2x - 1 = 38<br> Inverse operation
Lena [83]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add the x's together: 2x+x=3x

Now you have:3x-1=38

Add 1 to both sides: 3x=39

1 cancel on the left side of the equation

Divide 3 on both sides: x=39/3

3 cancels on the left side and 39 divided by 3 is 13:

x=13

Hope this helps!

Casey has n nickels. Megan has 4 times as many nickels as Casey has. Write and expression for the total number of nickels Casey
AnnyKZ [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of nickels that Casey has.

We are told that Megan has 4 times as many nickels as Casey has, therefore, the number of nickels that Megan has will be 4*n.

Now we will add the amounts of nickels that Casey and Megan have to find the total amount of nickels.

\text{Total number of nickels Casey and Megan have}=n+4*n

Therefore, the expression n+4*n will represent the total number of nickels that Casey and Megan have .

Upon combining like terms we will get,

\text{Total number of nickels Casey and Megan have}=(1+4)n

\text{Total number of nickels Casey and Megan have}=5n

Therefore, Casey and Megan have 5n nickels.
