Answer:

  • 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is going to be an arithmetic progression:</u>

  • 48500, 48500 + 1200, 48500 + 1200*2, ...

<u>So the first term is </u>

  • a₁ = 48500

<u>and the common difference is </u>

  • d = 1200

<u>Sum of AP is:</u>

  • S = (a₁ + aₙ)*n/2 = (2a₁ + (n - 1)d)*n/2

<u>Substitute and solve for n:</u>

  • (2*48500 + (n - 1)*1200)*n/2 = 321000
  • (97000 + 1200n - 1200)n = 642000
  • 1200n² + 95800n - 642000 = 0
  • 6n² + 479n - 3210 = 0

<u>Solving we get a positive root of:</u>

  • n ≈ 6.21 and it rounds up to 7 years

It is given that one number is 6 more than another. If three times the sum of the two numbers is equal to 22 more than the large
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

First number=22

Second number=28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you don't know either of the numbers we can call the first number x. The second number is the first number plus 6 or x+6. The sum is 22 more than the larger number so x+6+22 or x+28. Using this we can create the equation x+x+6=x+28. In order to isolate x we would subract x from both sides ending up with x+6=28. Then subract 6 from both sides to get x=22. This means the first number equals 22. Then to solve for the second number you plug 22 in for x to get the equation 22+6= the second number, so the second number is equal to 28. Look below for just the equation.

x+x+6=x+6+22

2x+6=x+28

-x -x

x+6=28

-6. -6

x=22

22+6

=28

22+28= 28+22
