Answer:

10.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours she babysat last week subtract 5 from 11 which is 7 hours. 7 hours is equal to 2/3 of the many hours. If she babysat h hours last week then solve for h using 2/3 h = 7.

Solve the equation by multiplying each side by the reciprocal.

3/2 * 2/3h = 7*3/2

h = 21/2

h = 10.5 hours

Determine the measure of an angle whose measure is 17 times that of its complement.
Iteru [2.4K]
Complement angles are angles which when added, the sum is equal to 90 degrees. In this case, we let angle one as x while angle 2 is represented by 17x. The equation then is equal to x + 17x = 90 ; 18x = 90. x from the equation is equal to 5. Hence teh angles are 5 degrees and 85 degrees

Find the value of the term in the arithmetic sequence using an = a^1+ (n-1)d. 3,5,7,9,11, (8th term)
saveliy_v [14]
<h3>Answer:  17</h3>

=========================================================

Work Shown:

a1 = 3 = first term

d = 2 = common difference (since we add 2 to each term to get the next one)

Let's compute the nth term.

an = a1 + (n-1)*d

an = 3 + (n-1)*2

an = 3 + 2n-2

an = 2n+1

-----------------------

To check things so far, we can plug in something like n = 2

an = 2n+1

a2 = 2*2+1

a2 = 5

Showing that the 2nd term is 5, which matches with the sequence given to us

Let's check n = 3

an = 2n+1

a3 = 2*3+1

a3 = 7

That matches as well. I'll let you check the others.

-----------------------

Plug in n = 8 to find the 8th term

an = 2n+1

a8 = 2*8+1

a8 = 17

The eighth term is 17, which is the final answer.

-----------------------

You could extend out the given sequence by adding 2 each time until you reach the 8th term

3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17

Though this method is slow if you need to find say the 38th term
