Answer:  The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two​ logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32  and  common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

a_n=a+(n-10)d.

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Point S is on line segment \overline{RT}
Semenov [28]

Answer:

RT = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Point S is on line segment

R------------S------------T

RS + ST = RT

Given

ST=3x-8

RT=4x

RS=4x-7,

Step 1

We find x

4x - 7 + 3x - 8 = 4x

4x + 3x -7 - 8 = 4x

7x - 15 = 4x

7x - 4x = 15

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Step 2

We find RT

RT = 4x

x = 5

RT = 4 × 5

RT = 20

The numerical length of RT is 20

Stardust the unicorn, covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip to the forest. On a later trip he travelled 300 miles whi
timama [110]
For this case, the first thing we must take into account is the following definition:
 d = v * t
 Where,
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 Substituting values we have:
 Trip 1:
 
50 = v * t1
 We cleared t1:
 t2 = (50) * (1 / v)
 Trip 2:
 
300 = (3 * v) * t2
 We cleared t2:
 t2 = (300/3) * (1 / v)
 t2 = (100) * (1 / v)
 Rewriting:
 t2 = 2 (50) * (1 / v)
 t2 = 2 * t1
 Answer:
 
His new time compared with the old time was:
 
Twice the old time.
 
t2 = 2 * t1.
