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.

BRAINLIEST ASAP! PLEASE. HELP ME :) I need help with part 2 of the question.
tino4ka555 [31]

Part 2:

-4a + 2 + 11a = 5a + 3 + 2a

~Combine like terms

7a + 2 = 7a + 3

~Subtract 2 to both sides

7a = 7a - 1

~Subtract 7a to both sides

0 = 1

Therefore, there are no solutions.

Best of Luck!

Daniel [21]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the equation looks like this: 15x - 6

15*4 - 6

60 - 6

54

OR if it's just x-6 then the answer is -2

Hope this is what you were asking, have a nice day! :)
