Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
<u>Option </u><u>D</u> (y = 5/6x -12).
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
The equation of the line which passes through the point (12,-2) is (y+2) = m2(x-12)………(i) [Using one point formula].
According to the question, the first line passes through point (12,6) and (0,-4).
So,



Therefore, the slope of the line is 5/6.
Now as per the condition of parallel lines, m1 =m2 = 5/6.
So, keeping the value of m2 in equation (i), we get;
(y+2) = 5/6(x-12)

or, y = 5/6x - 12.
Therefore, the required equation is y = 5/6 X - 12.

Answer:
an = 12 -7(n-1)
an = 19-7n
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is
an = a1 +d(n-1) where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference
a1 =12
We find d by taking the second term and subtracting the first term
d = 5-12
d = -7
an = 12 -7(n-1)
We can simplify this
an = 12 -7n+7
an = 19-7n
They are basically the same number
320 is the correct answer
