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

Answer:

<em>angle ABD =</em><u><em>55 degree</em></u>

<em>angle BCD= </em><u><em>125 degree</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

angle ABD and angle DBC are supplementary angles.

Hence, angle ABD +angle DBC = 180 --equation 1

angle ABD = (2x+15) ---equation 2

angle BCD = (4x+45) ------equation 3

ABD+DBC=180

(2x+15) + ( 4x+45 ) = 180

2x+4x+15+45=180

6x+60=180

6x=180-60

6x=120

x=120/6=20

angle ABD= 2x+15= 2(20) +15

                              =40+15= 55 degree

angle BCD= 4x+45 = 4(20) +45

                                = 80+45= 125 degree

Hence, angle ABD =55 degree

            angle BCD= 125 degree

<em>Hope this helps.</em>

If -<br> 3- 12, what is the value of x?<br> 4<br> 00<br> O 18<br> 0 24
malfutka [58]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{12}

We make the denominator the same by multiplying \frac{2}{3} by 4.

\frac{8}{12} = \frac{x}{12}

Thus, x = 8.
