Answer:

The first day temperature was -9°

Step-by-step explanation:

Vicky records the low temperature for three consecutive days.

We don't know the temperature on the first day.

Let assume "x" be the temperature on the first day.

Second the temperature increase by 6 degrees.

Second day = x + 6 degrees

The third day the temperature decreased by 3 degrees

Third day = x + 6 - 3 degrees

The third day temperature was given as -6°.

Therefore, x + 6 - 3 = -6

Now we have to solve for x.

Simplifying the like terms on the right hand side, we  get

x + 3 = -6

Subtracting 3 on both sides, we get

x + 3 - 3 = -6 -3

x = -9°

We took "x" as the first day temperature.

Therefore, the first day temperature was -9°

A baker bakes 50 muffins. 1/5 of the muffins are chocolate chip. 1/2 of the muffins are blueberry. The rest are cinnamon. How ma
vitfil [10]

Answer:

15 muffins are cinnamon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of muffins baked = 50 muffins

Chocolate chip muffins = 1/5 of 50 = \frac{1}{5}*50

Chocolate chip muffins = 10 muffins

Blueberry muffins = 1/2 of 50 = \frac{1}{2}*50

Blueberry muffins = 25

Cinnamon muffins = Muffins baked - chocolate chip muffins - blueberry muffins

Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 10 - 25

Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 35 = 15

Hence,

15 muffins are cinnamon.

Jay on started off his penny collection with 1 penny. He then adds 5 pennies to his collection each day. How could you change th
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

By doubling each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay is increasing  daily a fixed amount of pennies to his collection.  That's an arithmetic series, because to obtain the next term you have to do an addition.

To get a geometric series or progression you have to find the next term through multiplication.

So, if he wants to convert his series into a geometric series, he'd have to double his contribution to his collection each day (as an example).
