1 answer:

3 0

Hello :
(-6a)-(-3a) =(-3a)-(0) = (0)-(3a) = (3a)-(6a) = -3a (arthmetic sequence, the common - diff is : d= -3a the first term is : U1 = 6a
a general rule for the n th term is : Un =U1+(n-1)d
Un = 6a +(n-1)(-3a) =
Un = 6a -3an+3a
Un = -3an +9a

E. Left-handed: 30 Right-handed: 315

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the completed question:

At East Middle School, there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students. The numbers of left- and right-handed students at West Junior High are proportional to the numbers at East Middle School. Which of the following could be the numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High?

A. Left-handed: 42 Right-handed: 483

B. Left-handed: 28 Right-handed: 378

C. Left-handed: 48 Right-handed: 504

D. Left-handed: 56 Right-handed: 560

E. Left-handed: 30 Right-handed: 315

Since it's direct proportion, we have to calculate the constant of proportionality which will simply be:

= 609 / 58 = 10.5

A. Left-handed: 42 Right-handed: 483

Constant = 483/42 = 11.5

Incorrect

B. Left-handed: 28 Right-handed: 378

Constant = 378/28 = 13.5

Incorrect

C. Left-handed: 48 Right-handed: 504

Constant = 504/48 = 10.5

Correct

D. Left-handed: 56 Right-handed: 560

Constant = 560/56 = 10

Incorrect

E. Left-handed: 30 Right-handed: 315

Constant = 315/30 = 10.5

Correct

Therefore, the correct options are C and E.
