Answer:
14 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
7h - 5(3h-8) = -72
7h - 15h + 40 = -72
-8h +40 = -72
-8h = -72 -40
-8h = -112
h = -112/ -8
h = 14
We are given this explicit formula :

In order to find eighth term let us plug n as 8 in this formula:

subtracting 8-1 first using pemdas rule

multiplying 5 and 7

subtracting 35-6
c(8) = 29
So eighth term is 29.
Answer: m=-1.
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Hence x = -1 and y = 18
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations
y + 8x = 10... 1
2y - 4x = 40 ... 2
From 1; y = 10-8x
Substitute into 2;
2(10-8x) - 4x = 40
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40
-20x = 40 - 20
-20x = 20
x = -1
Recall that y = 10-8x
y = 10 - 8(-1)
y = 10 + 8
y = 18
Hence x = -1 and y = 18
