Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number written on the board be x.

1st student's number= x +23

2nd student's number= x -1

<em>1</em><em>st</em><em> </em><em>student</em><em>'</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>(</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>2nd</em><em> </em><em>student</em><em>)</em><em>,</em>

x +23= 7(x -1)

x +23= 7x -7 <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

7x -x= 23 +7 <em>(</em><em>bring</em><em> </em><em>constant</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>)</em>

6x= 30 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

x= 30 ÷6 (÷6 on both sides)

x= 5

Thus, the number written on the board is 5.

Answer:

If angle dgf as an angle of 108

that means that the equation would look like this x + 4x-2=108

= 5x-2=108

then you solve for x

5x=110

110/5 = 22 = x

hope that answers your question

The chart has been completed in the picture attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the number of bacteria doubles every 6 hours.

So if there are 1 million now, in 6 hours there would be double that i.e. 2 million and it will go on.

Step 2:

As the first column says the number of 6-hour periods, the second column is the actual number of hours.

So the second column is multiples of 6 so the second column is filled with;

0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48.

Step 3:

The current population is calculated by multiplying the previous population by 2.

For 0 hours, the population = 3 million,

For 6 hours, the population = 2(3) = 6 million,

For 12 hours, the population = 2(6) = 12 million,

For 18 hours, the population = 2(12) = 24 million,

For 24 hours, the population = 2(24) = 48 million,

For 30 hours, the population = 2(48) = 96 million,

For 36 hours, the population = 2(96) = 192 million,

For 42 hours, the population = 2(192) = 384 million, and

For 48 hours, the population = 2(384) = 768 million.

So at the end of 48 hours, there will be approximately 768 million bacteria on the pinhead.

Find the 44th term in the following<br> arithmetic sequence :<br> 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 2 and d = 3 - 2 = 1, thus

a_{44} = 2 + (43 × 1) = 2 + 43 = 45
