Question # 14
Given the numbers
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Let 'x' be the number
The condition breakdown:
I am less than 20.
- So the number 'x' must be less than 20 i.e. x < 20
I am more than 13.
- So the number 'x' must be greater than 13 i.e. x > 13
I am less than 17.
- So the number 'x' must be less than 17 i.e. x < 17
Finally:
I am 4 more than 12
i.e. 12+4 = 16
Thus, the number is x = 16
Question # 15
Part a)
Given the numbers
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Let 'x' be the number
The condition breakdown:
I am more than 10.
I am less than 20.
I am more than 12.
I am less than 15.
As the numbers left after all the conditions are fulfilled are 13 and 14.
- But the last condition is, of the numbers that left, the number is greater than all the remaining numbers.
So, from the remaining number 13 and 14;
14 > 13
Thus, the number x = 14
Part b)
Drawing the number 14 in the place value:

An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.
Hope this made sense.
Answer: b=10
Step-by-step explanation: The easiest way to solve this is to simplify 6/3, which is 2. Then find how many fifths are in 2 by multiplying 2 and 5 to get 10.
Mx + nx = p
<span>You can factor x out of the mx + nx. </span>
<span>x(m + n) = p </span>
<span>Now, simply divide by the m + n. </span>
<span>x = p / (m + n)</span>
