We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.

See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62. 

We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).

Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.

40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side

-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2

h = 11

So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

Identify the 27th term of an arithmetic sequence where a1 = 38 and a17 = -74. . A. -20.5 . B. -151 . C. -22.75 . D. -144 . .
Dennis_Churaev [7]
In order to solve for a nth term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula written as:

an = a1 + (n-1)d

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first value in the sequence, n is the term position and d is the common difference.

First, we need to calculate for d from the given values above.  
<span>a1 = 38 and a17 = -74
</span>

an = a1 + (n-1)d
-74 = 38 + (17-1)d
d = -7

The 27th term is calculated as follows:

a27 = a1 + (n-1)d
a27= 38 + (27-1)(-7)
a27 = -144 -----------> OPTION D

Two number have a sum of 1212 and a difference 518. What are the two numbers?
Lady_Fox [76]
The answers are 347 and 865. To solve this problem you set up two equations, x+y=1212 and x-y=518. You then get the second x by itself by adding y to both sides. You then have x+y=1212 and x=y+518. After this you substitute the x into the first equation and have y+518+y=1212. Then simplify to 2y=694 and y=347
Now that y=347 you put it in the original equation. Solve and get that x=865
