Answer:

The weight of the object is 3 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>

Let object weight be x kg.

Now, as per the available data,

3/4 kg + 3/4 (x kg) = x kg

<u>Step 2: </u>

3/4 (1 + x) = x

1 + x = 4x/3

1 = x (4/3 - 1)

x = 1 / (1/3)

x = 3

Weight of Object is 3 kg.

<u>Step 3: </u>

Let's check if this value satisfies the first equation.

3/4 + 3/4 x 3 = 3/4 + 9/4 = 12/4 = 3

Hence proved.

Consider the arithmetic sequence:
prisoha [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: D</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequences </u>

The arithmetic sequences are those where any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)r

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r   = common difference

n  = number of the term

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

10, 12, 14, 16, ...

Where a1=10 and

r = 12 - 10 = 2

Thus the general term is:

a_n=10+(n-1)2

Operating:

a_n=10+2n-2

a_n=8+2n

Answer: D

Frannie is two years older than 3 times her daughter's age. If Frannie is 47, how old ids her daughter?
SVEN [57.7K]
The answer is 15. Her daughter is 15 years old.

In order to find this we need to work backwards. First let’s subtract 2 from Frannie’s current age.
That gives us 45. We know that her daughter is 3 times younger so now all we need to do is divide by 3.
That gives us fifteen.

Hope this helped !!
