Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-3+(-5)

When we solve the above the question we will get the answer which is equal to -8.

We have to sole the above equation by the number line

A number line consist of the negative number on the left hand side and positive numbers on right hand side which are separated by zero at equal distance .

-3+(-5)

On the number line we have to start from zero , then we have to go back 3 steps that is on the left hand side of the number line .

Now , again we have to 5 back steps on a number line and we get the our answer which is equal to -8.

Hence , the correct answer is -8.

Write the first five terms of the sequence in which the nth term is a_n=(n+1)!/n+1.

VikaD [51]

Answer:a) 1,2,6,24,120

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of the sequence is expressed as

n=(n+1)!/n+1

For the first term, n = 1. Therefore,

(1+1)!/(1+1) = 2!/2 = (2×1)/2 = 1

For the second tern, n = 2. Therefore,

(2+1)!/2+1 = 3! /3 = (3×2×1)/3 = 6/3 = 2

For the third term, n = 3, therefore

(3+1)!/3+1 = 4!/4 =(4×3×2×1)/4 = 6

For the fourth term, n = 4. Therefore

(4+1)!/4+1 = 5!/5 = (5×4×3×2×1)/5 = 24

For the fifth term, n = 5. Therefore

(5+1)!/5+1 = 6!/6 = 6× 5×4×3×2×1)/6 = 120

Two trains started moving at the same time, train A from Boston to New York, and train B from New York to Boston. The distance b

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

After 1.7 hours

Explanation:

1. Calculate the average speed of train B

60mph = 3/4 (s) ⇒ s = 60 (4/3) mph = 80 mph

2. Build a table

When the two trains meet:

Train Average speed Distance time (distance/average speed)

mph

A 60 x x/60

B 80 240 - x (240 - x) / 80

3. Write the equation

The time, when the two trains meet, is the same for both trains:

$\dfrac{x}{60}=\dfrac{240-x}{80}\\ \\ \\ 80x=14,400-60x\\ \\ 80x+60x=14,400\\ \\ 140x=14,400\\ \\ x=14,400/140\\ \\ x=102.85miles$

4. Calculate the time:

x/60 = 102.86 / 60 = 1.7 hours

The two trains will meet after 1.7 hours

Burka [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that that he spent washing cars.

Let y represent the number of hours that that he spent landscaping.

In a week, he can work no more than 19 total hours. This means that

x + y ≤ 19- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Jacob is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and making $8 per hour landscaping. He must earn at least $170. This means that

10x + 8y ≥ 170 - - - - - - - - - -2

If Jacob worked 4 hours landscaping, it means that

x + 4 ≤ 19

x ≤ 19 - 4

x ≤ 15

Also,

10x + 8 × 4 ≥ 170

10x + 32 ≥ 170

10x ≥ 170 - 32

10x ≥ 138

10x ≥ 138/10

x ≥ 13.8

The minimum number of hours is 14
