Common difference
<u>Difference of first two</u>
- d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b
<u>Difference of second two</u>
<u>Difference of last two</u>
<u>Now comparing d:</u>
- -2b = ab - (a - b)
- ab - a = - 3b
- a(1 - b) = 3b
- a = 3b/(1 - b)
and
- a/b - ab = -2b
- a(1/b - b) = -2b
- a = 2b²/(b² - 1)
<u>Eliminating a:</u>
- 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
- 2b/(b+1) = -3
- 2b = -3b - 3
- 5b = - 3
- b = -3/5
<u>Finding a:</u>
- a = 3b/(1 - b) =
- 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
- -9/5*5/8 =
- -9/8
<u>So the first term is:</u>
- a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40
<u>Common difference:</u>
<u>The 6th term:</u>
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
- -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
- -69/40 + 240/40 =
- 171/40 = 4 11/40
Answer:
Jamal's age = 2×x+12= 2x+12
sum og ages = 45
2x+12+x= 45
=3x+12=45
=45-12= 3x
= 32=3x
x= 32/3= 10.67
2x+13 =21.34+12= 33.34
hope.ot helps

2/5
Since 12 out of 30 marbles were black, you can assume that the percentage of black marbles in the bag is 40% (Ex: 12/30=.4) The probability that the marble you pick is black is equal to the percentage of black marbles in the bag. 40% is equal to 2/5.
Answer:
David gets 28 more than Dan
Step-by-step explanation:
Jim: Dan : David: total
3 : 1 : 5 : 3+1+5 = 9
Jim gets 21
21/3 = 7
Multiply each number by 7
Jim: Dan : David: total
3*7 : 1*7 : 5 *7 : 9*7
21 : 7 : 35 : 63
David has 35 and Dan has 7
35-7 = 28
David gets 28 more than Dan
Answer:
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
The y values are the same, so there cannot be a slope. The (mx) part of y=mx+b is cancelled out, and is left with the b. Since the y value is forever three, the y-intercept will be 3 as well.
Therefore, the slope-intercept equation is
y=3
