Hey there!

The answer is n - 1.

Let's pretend the number is 15, so 1 less than "15", if you think about it, would be 14, and to get there, you do 15 - 1, now let us switch "15" back to a number "n", and now we have "n - 1"

Did you catch on? ;)

I would love to help you anytime

It’s n-1 because 1 less than a number(n) would be n-1 and you may think what about 1-n, the words for that is one Minus a number or a number less than 1 but since it’s not that the answer is
N-1

An ice cream shop sells 6 different flavors, 4 toppings, and 3 types of cones. How many different combinations of two different

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

360 combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of different combinations of 2 different flavors, 1 topping, and 1 cone, we are going to use the rule of multiplication as:

6 * 5 * 4 * 3 = 360

1st flavor 2nd flavor topping cone

Because first, we have 6 possible options for the flavor, then we only have 5 possible options for the 2nd flavor. Then, we have 4 options for the topping and finally, we have 3 options for the cone.

It means that there are 360 different combinations of two different flavors, one topping, and one cone are possible

Solve the system of linear equations using elimination.

N76 [4]

Answer:

C (-2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

−2x − y = 3 (1)

−9x − y = 17 (2)

(1) y = -2x - 3

(2) y = -9x - 17

-2x - 3 = -9x - 17

7x = -14

x = -2

y = -2(-2) - 3

y = 4 - 3

y = 1

How many terms are there in a geometric series if the first terms is 2, the common ratio is 4, and the sum of the series is 2,73

arsen [322]

The sum of n terms of a geometric series is given by
$S_{n}=a_{1}\dfrac{r^{n}-1}{r-1}$

Substituting the given numbers, you have
$2730=2\dfrac{4^{n}-1}{4-1}\\\\2730\dfrac{3}{2}=4^{n}-1\\\\4096=4^{n}\\\\\dfrac{\log(4096)}{\log(4)}=n=6$

There are 6 terms in the series.
