Answer:

First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first term and common ratio while we are given third term = 6 and seventh term = 96

Since common ratio is required so, the sequence is geometric sequence

The formula used is: a_n= a_1r^{n-1}

We are given: third term = 6 i,e

a_3=a_1r(3-1)\\6=a_1r^2----eq(1)

Seventh term = 96

a_7=a_1r(7-1)\\96=a_1r^6----eq(2)

Dividing eq(2) and eq(3)

\frac{96}{6}=\frac{a_1r^6}{a1r2}\\16=\frac{r^6}{r^2}\\16=r^{6-2}\\=> r^4=16\\Taking \ fourth \ root\\ r=2,-2,2i,-2i\\ \ We \ will \ consider \ only \ positive \ value \ of \ r \ i.e \ \textbf{ r= 2}

So, Common Ratio r = 2

Finding First term using eq(1)

a_3=a_1r^2\\6=a_1(2)^2\\6=a_1(4)\\a_1= \frac{6}{4}\\a_1= \frac{3}{2}

So, First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Three times a number plus 12 minus 5 times the same number is 22. What is the number?
JulijaS [17]
3x + 12 - 5x = 22
-2x + 12 = 22
-2x = 10
x = -5

Write the equation out, x is going to be your unknown number.
Combine like terms.
We have to isolate x, so get rid of the 12 by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
Divide by -2.

Four points A, B, C, and D are coplanar, but only two at a time are collinear. Suppose a line is drawn through each pair of poin
Brut [27]
Based on the given details above, the number of lines that can be drawn through each pair of points would be six: Four sides and two diagonals. When we say coplanar points, these are points that lie in the same plane. This is made up of three or more points. Hope this answer helps.

How to convert improper fractions to a mixed numeral
Deffense [45]
Say for example, you have the improper fraction 18/7
The first step is to find out how many times 7 fits into 18
This looks like flipping the fraction, 7/18 = 2 whole times  with 4 parts left over
The 4 left over gets put in front of the original number (7) to give 2 4/7

To check if you have done it correctly, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator ( 7 ) and then add the numerator.
2 x 7 = 14 + 4 = 18

Hope this helps

Answer:

564 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

there are many ways to solve this soo...

1. convert to centimetres (there are 100 centimetres in 1 metre)

2. the square tiles area = 20*20=400cm

2. find the large area (4.8m x 3.8m or 480cm x 380cm)

480 *380=182400cm

2. find the two smaller areas (1.2m x 1.8m or 120cm x 180cm)

2(120*180)=4.3200cm

3. add to find total area

182400 +43200=225600cm

4. find how many tiles are needed

\frac{225600}{400}= 564 tiles
