Answer:
Let X be the smaller number
Then the larger number is X + 24
X + (X + 24) = 58
2X + 24 = 58
2X = 34
X = 17
So the smaller number is 17, the larger number is 41 (17 + 24)
So the unit price refers to the cost of one unit i.e if 24 are being sold for $6.50 what is the cost for just 1 so to calculate just one do the The price divided by the number of units e.g 6.50/24 which is around 0.27
The question is asking you to solve for A
to determine the first, fourth and tenth term you simply put those values in for (n)
the first term you then be given by the equation A(1) = 12 + ((1)-1)(3)
A= 12
Same thing for 4th term A(4) = 12 + ((4)-1)(3)
A= 21
10th term: A(10) = 12 + ((10)-1)(3)
A= 39
∴ your answer is C
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a parallelogram = base times height
Given area = 40
Given height = 4
Given = x + 6
Thus,
40 = 4 * (6 + x )
Step 1 distribute the 4
4 * 6 = 24
4 * x = 4x
we now have 40 = 24 + 4x
step 2 subtract 24 from each side
40 - 24 = 16
24 - 24 cancels out
now we have 16 = 4x
step 3 divide each side by 4
4x / 4 = x
16 / 4 = 4
we're left with x = 4
To check our work, we can plug in the value of x and find the area of the parallelogram then. If it equals 40 the x = 4 is true.
(x + 6) * 4
* substitute 4 for x *
(4 + 6) * 4
4 + 6 = 10
10 * 4 = 40
40 = 40
Hence x = 4
Answer:
The number of females is 288.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of females be x.
5:4 = 360:x
We can write the equal ratios as a proportion.
5/4 = 360/x
Cross multiply:
5x = 360 * 4
5x = 1440
x = 288
Answer: The number of females is 288.
