Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
number of Dave's coins = number of Zack's coins + 5
The question is asking to find the difference in prices paid (thus "<em>more</em>"), completely unrelated to the number of coins Zack bought as these two numbers are independent of one another. The difference in price can be found by simply multiplying the cost of one coin by 5.
I got it =4/5 hope it’s right
In an arithmetic sequence:
Tn=t₁+(n-1)d
t₄=t₁+(4-1)d=t₁+3d
t₅=t₁+(5-1)d=t₁+4d
t₆=t₁+(6-1)d=t₁+5d
t₄+t₅+t₆=(t₁+3d) +(t₁+4d)+(t₁+5d)=3t₁+12d
Therefore:
3t₁+12d=300 (1)
t₁₅=t₁+(15-1)d=t₁+14d
t₁₆=t₁+(16-1)d=t₁+15d
t₁₇=t₁+(17-1)d=t₁+16d
t₁₅+t₁₆+t₁₇=(t₁+14d)+(t₁+15d)+(t₁+16d)=3t₁+45d
Therefore:
3t₁+45d=201 (2)
With the equations (1) and (2) we make an system of equations:
3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+45d=201
we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.
3t₁+12d=300
-(3t₁+45d=201)
-----------------------------
-33d=99 ⇒d=99/-33=-3
3t₁+12d=300
3t₁+12(-3)=300
3t₁-36=300
3t₁=300+36
3t₁=336
t₁=336/3
t₁=112
Threfore:
Tn=112+(n-1)(-3)
Tn=112-3n+3
Tn=115-3n
Now, we calculate T₁₈:
T₁₈=115-3(18)=115-54=61
Answer: T₁₈=61
