360 - 20 + 2x = 360
340 + 2x = 360
2x = 20
x = 10
Answer:
14 flats
5 plants
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would do 89/6 but since that doesn’t divide nicely you can do 90/6 to get 15 then subtract 1 since the original number was 89 and you would get 14
The 14 times 6 would get you 84
Then subtract 84 from 89 and you get 5 plants left over ^^
The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared! So, the short answer is that the sum of the first 70 odd numbers is 70 squared, i.e. 4900.
Allow me to prove the result: odd numbers come in the form 2n-1, because 2n is always even, and the number immediately before an even number is always odd.
So, if we sum the first N odd numbers, we have

The first sum is the sum of all integers from 1 to N, which is N(N+1)/2. We want twice this sum, so we have

The second sum is simply the sum of N ones:

So, the final result is

which ends the proof.
Answer:
a = 1, b = 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
a + b = 4
a - b = -2 Adding to eliminate b:
2a = 2
a = 1
So 1 + b = 4
giving b = 3.
