Easy math, but not sure what I did wrong.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

In his 5th year, he took 3 times as many exams as the first year.  So the number of exams taken in the 5th year must be a multiple of 3.

If a₁ = 1, then a₅ = 3.  However, this isn't possible because we need 4 integers between them, and a sum of 31.

If a₁ = 2, then a₅ = 6.  Same problem as before.

If a₁ = 3, then a₅ = 9.  This is a possible solution.

If a₁ = 4, then a₅ = 12.  If we assume a₂ = 5, a₃ = 6, and a₄ = 7, then the sum is 34, so this is not a possible solution.

Therefore, Alex took 3 exams in his first year and 9 exams in his fifth year.  So he took 19 exams total in his second, third, and fourth years.

3 < a₂ < a₃ < a₄ < 9

If a₂ = 4, then a₃ = 7 and a₄ = 8.

If a₂ = 5, then a₃ = 6 and a₄ = 8.

If a₂ = 6, then there's no solution.

So Alex must have taken 8 exams in his fourth year.

Lana makes $8 an hour plus $12 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

A:  W = 8x

B:  12y + 320

C:  44

Step-by-step explanation:

A:  Lana can make $8 an hour.

W = 8x

B:  She makes $12 per hour for every hour of overtime.  This means that she already worked 40 hours with regular pay.  She has already made $320.

40 × $8 = $320

S = 12y + 320

C:  Plug in the amount Lana earned into the second equation.  The second equation will account for pay from both regular and overtime hours.

S = 12y + 320

368 = 12y + 320

368 - 320 = (12y + 320) - 320

48 = 12y

48/12 = (12y)/12

4 = y

y = 4

Lana worked 4 hours of overtime and 40 hours of regular hours.  In total, she worked 44 hours.

4 + 40 = 44

Given that circumference of a circle is 44m. Calculate it's area​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Area=154.062 m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

As Circumference of a circle is given by;

C=2\times \pi\times r

As the circumference is 44m so we can calculate the value of r by using the above formula.

44=2\times \pi \times r\\\\\frac{44}{2\pi} =r\\\\\implies r=\frac{22}{\pi} =7.003 m

Now to Calculate the Area of a Circle.

As the area of a circle is,

Area =\pi \times r^{2}\\ Area=\pi \times (7.003)^{2} \\Area=\pi \times 49.039\\Area=154.062m^{2}
