just use what you know about this stuff
(a+36d)/(a+20d) = (a+55d)/(a+36d)
(a+36d)^2 = (a+55d)(a+20d)
a^2+72ad+1296d^2 = a^2+75ad+1100d^2
3ad = 196d^2
3a = 196d
That is, for any value of n,
a=196n
d=3n
So, there is no unique solution.
If n=1, then a=196 and d=3. The terms are
196+20*3 = 256
196+36*3 = 304
196+55*3 = 361
304/256 = 361/304
You can easily verify that it works for any value of n.
You would write 0.33 as 33%.
Hope this helps!
44
Assuming JM and LN are parallel, KMJ=MKN. MKN is part of a triangle where the other two values are defined (48 and 88). By subtracting these values from 180, we find the value of MKN is 44, which therefore is also the value of KMJ.
Hi Quanzia25,
Solution:
45mph
45mph x 4hrs. = 180 miles in 4 hours
45 / 3 = 15
180 + 15 = 195
Answer:
The car has traveled 195 miles.
