The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:
first term = -15
common difference = -6 - (-15) = 9
number of terms
substituting into the formula , we have :
Answer:
50,000 ≤ 23,210 + 5x
x = Average number of words per week
Step-by-step explanation:
Start off with 50,000 because that's how many words the paper needs to have.
Use "≤" because Trevor needs to write at least 50,000 words. (He can write more).
Trevor already wrote 23,210 words plus x words per week for 5 weeks.
(Solving for x will help you find the average number of words Trevor must write per week for 5 weeks).
Answer:
3x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number =X
So
Five more than 3 times a number
3x+5
Answer:
the answer is 205
Step-by-step explanation:
%/100 X is/of 177 IS 60% of the students. so you put 60/100 and multiply 177/X 177X100=17700. Now divide that by 60 and you come up with 28.33. This obviously is not the answer so you add 28 (does not round up to 29) to 177 and you get 205.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Xavier, Yolanda and Zara shared some money.
Let x represent Xavier's share
Let y represent Yolanda's share
Let z represent Zara's share.
Yolanda received 40% more money than Xavier. This means that
y = x + 40/100×x = x + 0.4x = 1.4x
Zara received 60% of Yolanda's share. This means that
z = 60/100× 1.4 = 0.6×1.4 = 0.84x
. If Zara received $1,176, then,
0.84x = 1176
x = 1176/0.84 = 1400
y = 1.4 × 1400 = $1960
z = 0.84 × 1400 = $1176
The sum of the money is
1400 + 1960 + 1176 = $4536
