6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

first term (a) = 6

Common Difference (d) = 1 - 6 = - 5

Last term (tn )= - 239

Number of terms (n) = ?

We know

Tn = a + ( n - 1 ) d

- 239 = 6 + (n - 1) (-5)

- 239 = 6 - 5n + 5

- 239 = 11 - 5n

5n = 11 + 239

5n = 250

n = 250 / 5

n = 50

The number of terms is 50.

A = b and c = d, then a x c = b x d<br> what kind of reasong is used here

Phoenix [80]

A = b is given to us

Multiply both sides by c to get
a = b
a*c = b*c
The rule to multiply both sides by c is the multiplicative property of equality

Then on the right side, replace c with d. This replacement is possible due to the fact that c = d. This is using the substitution property.

So we go from
a*c = b*c
to this
a*c = b*d

Tomas bought 3 software apps and 2 e-books for a total of $21. The two e-books cost $12. If s represents the cost of each app, t

xenn [34]

First compute the cost of the three apps:
$21-12=9$
The cost of the three apps is $9 then.
Since s is the price of the apps, we deduce the equation:
$3s=9$ which means that $s=3$
