Answer:

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{n}  = a_{n-1} - 3

we have to find formula for nth term of series for this problem

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{2}  = a_{2-1} - 3 = a_{1}  -3 =  12 -3 = 9\\a_{3}  = a_{3-1} - 3 = a_{2}  -3 =  9 -3 = 6

Thus, we see series is 12, 9 ,6

Thus, we can see that series is decreasing by unit of 3.

and we know that when there is in increase or decrease in series by a a constant number then series is arithmetic progression series.

Hence, this is a decreasing AP series

In AP

nth term is given

nth term = a+(n-1)d

where a is the first term

d is the common difference

common difference is given by = nth term - (n-)th term

lets take 2nd and 1st term to get common difference.

d = 9-12 = -3

(note: this was obvious by looking at series itself that d is -3 as series was decreasing by 3 unit)

a = 12

thus, nth term = a +(n-1)d

nth term = 12 +(n-1)(-3)

nth term = 12 -3(n-1)

writing this in form of a_{n}

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)  Answer

7x+6= 5(x+2)<br>help me​
Zigmanuir [339]

\huge \pink{solution}

Given :7x+6=5(x+2)

Now We will use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+2.

→7x+6=5x+10

We will Subtract 5x from both sides.

→7x+6−5x=10

We will Combine 7x and −5x to get 2x.

→2x+6=10

We will Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x=10−6

We will Subtract 6 from 10 to get 4.

2x=4

We will Divide both sides by 2.

x= 4/2

At last,We Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

x=2

Find the area of the missing piece of the polygon and explain your process for finding it:
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The area of the polygon is 42cm^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is a shape that has three or more sides. They are named with respect to the number of their sides. Example, an octagon has 8 sides, hexagon has 6 sides etc.

From the given figure, the area of the shaded polygon can be calculated by;

Area of polygon = Area of square - Sum of areas given

Sum of areas given = 24 + 30 + 48

                                = 102cm^{2}

The four sides of the figure are equal, thus it is a square. The length of each side is 12 cm, so that:

Area of square = length × width

                        = 12 × 12

                       = 144cm^{2}

Area of polygon = 144 - 102

                           = 42cm^{2}

The area of the polygon is 42cm^{2}.

Please help me and explain it please questions 28
klasskru [66]

Answer:

$1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

x: quarter=$0.25

y: dime=$0.10

z: nickel=$0.05

so total amount of changes

= (0.25*x)+(0.10*y)+(0.05*z)

x=3, y=5, z=2

substituting into the eqn

total = (0.25*3)+(0.10*5)+(0.05*2)

= 0.75 + 0.5 + 0.1

= $1.35
