Answer:

350 Douglas fir, 500 Ponderosa pine

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let f = the number of fir trees

and p = the number of pine trees.

Then, we have two conditions:

(1)                                f + p = 850

(2)                  300f + 225p = 217 500

(3)                                    p = 850 -f         Subtracted f from each side of (1)

(4)       300f + 225(850 - f) = 217 500     Substituted (3) into (3)

      300f + 191 250 - 225f = 217 500     Distributed 225

                    75f + 191 250 = 217 500     Distributed the 7

                                    75f = 26 250      Subtracted 191 250 each side

(5)                                     f = 350

                             350 + p = 850           Substituted (5) into (1)

                                        p = 500          Subtracted 350 from each side

The company bought 350 fir trees and 500 pine trees.

Check:

(1) 350 + 500 = 850     (2) 300 × 350 + 225 × 500 = 217 500  

              850 = 850                  105 000 + 112 500 = 217 500

                                                                   217 500 = 217 500

OK.

Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form subtract 5/8-3/5
svetoff [14.1K]

first you need to find the least common denominator which in this case it is 40. since 5 and 8 both go into 40.


5/8 = 25/40

3/5 = 24/40

25/40 - 24/40 =1/40

does this make sense to you?

What is the sum of the arithmetic series
docker41 [41]

Answer:

S_ {12} = 192

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the given arithmetic sequence is

U_n = 3 + 2n

The first term of this series is:

U_1 = 3 + 2(1) = 5

The last term of this series is when

n = 12

U_ {12}= 3 + 2(12)

U_ {12}= 3 + 24 = 27

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series when the first an last term is known is given by:

S_n =  \frac{n}{2}(a + l)

Where a=5 is the first term and l=27 is the last term.

S_ {12} =  \frac{12}{2}(5 + 27)

S_ {12} =6(32) =19 2
