.....................7 x 5 = 35
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given AP where:</u>
<u>To find</u>
<u>Since</u>
- a₄ = a₁ + 3d
- a₂ = a₁ + d
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d
<u>Initial equations will change as:</u>
- a₁ + 3d = 2(a₁ + d) - 1 ⇒ a₁ + 3d = 2a₁ + 2d - 1 ⇒ a₁ = d + 1
- a₁ + 5d = 7 ⇒ a₁ = 7 - 5d
<u>Comparing the above:</u>
- d + 1 = 7 - 5d
- 6d = 6
- d = 1
<u>Then:</u>
- a₁ = d + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
- a₁ = 2
The first term is 2
It is known that 6 things can get arranged in 720 ways, let's look at the math of this.
There are six things so:
1×2
2×3
6×4
24×5
120×6
720
From the ratio given we know that there is 3 times more cats than dogs.
If there are 15 cats, then there are 15/3 dogs or 5 dogs.
answer: 5 dogs
