In a school election, Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne, Neal recurved twenty less votes than Juan, and Kerry got hal

77julia77 [94]

Votes received by Wayne is 112

Solution:

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x ---- eqn 1

Neal received twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

Kerry got half as many votes as Neal

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = $\frac{4x - 20}{2}$ ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

$x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112$

Therefore votes received by Wayne is 112

A(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1)a(n)=−5+6(n−1)a, left parenthesis, n, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 5, plus, 6, left parenthesis, n, min

Answer:

The 12th term is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your a(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1) is correct; the rest is redundant (duplicative, unneeded).

To find the 12th term, substitute 12 for n in the above formula:

a(12) = -5 + 6(12 - 1) = -5 + 6(11) = 66 - 5, or 61

The 12th term is 61
