4th term = 29
to generate the terms, substitute n = 2, 3, 4 into the rule
noting that b(1) = - 7
b(2) = b(2 - 1) + 12 = b(1) + 12 = -7 + 12 = 5
b(3) = b(3 - 1) + 12 = b(2) + 12 = 5 + 12 = 17
b(4) = b(4 - 1) + 12 = b(3) + 12 = 17 + 12 = 29
9/6 = 1.5
24/1.5 = 16
triangle DEF has a primeter of 16 inches
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 of 12 = 4
1/4 of 12 = 3
4 is 1 more than 3.
The number is 12.
_____
If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:
x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1
x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)
x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12
