Missing part of the question
Determine the number of handshakes, i, that will occur for each number of people, n, in a particular room. (people)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
For 5 people

Using the given instance of 5 people, the number of handshakes can be represented as:

The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the total number of handshakes is the sum of n terms of the sequence.

Where
--- The first term
--- The last term
So:


Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
When you subtract a negative you end up adding it instead
Answer:
a= Apple = 3
b= Banana =5
v= Lollypop=1
Step-by-step explanation:
36 is divided into 2 giving us 18
Let apple=a
Banana=b
Lollypop=c
In the first half
An apple + 3 bananas=18
a+3b=18 (1)
Second half is further divided into 2
That is,
18÷2=9
First half of the second half
3apples=9
3a=9 (2)
Second half of the second half
1 apple + 1 banana + 1 lollypop=9
a+b+c=9 (3)
a+3b=18 (1)
3a=9 (2)
a+b+c=9 (3)
From (2)
3a=9
Divide both sides by 3
a=9/3
a=3
Substitute a=3 into 1
a+3b=18
3+3b=18
3b=18-3
3b=15
Divide both sides by 3
b=15/3
=5
b=5
Substitute the value of a and b into (3)
a+b+c=9
3+5+c=9
8+c=9
c=9-8
c=1
Therefore,
a= Apple = 3
b= Banana =5
v= Lollypop=1
X+8y=18
-5x+3y=-4
Multiply the first equation by 5
Add the two equations together
5x+40y=90
-5x+3y=-4
43y=86
Y=2
Plug y into one equation to find x
X+16=18
X=2
Answer:
y = 3x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the parallel line will have the same x- and y-coefficients, but a different constant. You can put the given point values into the equation to see what the constant needs to be:
y = 3x + b
10 = 3·2 + b . . . . . . substitute x=2, y=10
4 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6
The equation of the line is ...
y = 3x +4
