Answer:

20 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given AP with the first two terms:</u>

  • a₁= 27 and a₂=24

<u>Common difference: </u>

  • d= 24-27 = -3

<u>To find </u>

  • n for which Sₙ= -30
<h3>Solution</h3>
  • Sₙ = 1/2*n*(a₁+aₙ) =
  • 1/2n(a₁+a₁+(n-1)d) =
  • 1/2n(27+27+(n-1)(-3))=
  • 1/2n(54 - 3n + 3) =
  • 1/2n(57 - 3n)

<u>Since Sₙ = -30</u>

  • 1/2n(57 - 3n) = -30
  • 57n - 3n² = -60
  • 19n - n²- 20 = 0
  • n² -19 n -20= 0

<u>Solving the quadratic equation we get:</u>

  • n =20

So the sum of 20 terms will add up - 30

What two numbers have a sum of 217 and a <br> difference of 85?
Setler [38]

Answer:

the two numbers are 151 and 66

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y =217

x-y = 85

add the two equations

x+y =217

x-y = 85

-------------

2x = 302

divide by 2

2x/2 = 302/2

x = 151

now find y

x+y =217

151+y =217

subtract 151 from each side

y = 217-151

y =66
