First you should combine n/6-5n/12
that goes to 2n/12-5n/12 which equals -3n/12
then you should cross multiply -3n/12 by 1/16
12(1)=-3n(16)
12=-48n then solve for n by dividing by -48
-12/48=n simplify -1/4=n or -.25=n
To solve this you need to take the answer from the previous iteration.
Iteration 1: The answer is given
a1 = 300
Iteration 2: Solve using the equation. a(n-1) is the answer from the previous iteration. n = the number of the current iteration. So, a(n-1) = 300 and n = 2
a2 = 300/2 = 150
Iteration 3: a(n-1) = 150 and n = 3
a3 = 150/3 = 50
Iteration 4: a(n-1) = 50 and n = 4
a4 = 50/4 = 12.5
Answer: 12.5
Answer:
Shenika invites 7 friends and each one gets 5 cookies.
= 7*5
= 35
Based on above answer, Shenika will need a total of 35 cookies for all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each box has 12 cookies.
Total cookies = 35
Let the number of boxes be x.
12*x = 35
x = 35/12
x = 2.9
This means she would need <em><u>3 boxes</u></em>.
equation: y = x - 4
y-intercept = -4
gradient/slope = 1/1x or x
Answer:
just do the cross multiplication method
