Answer:
a) 580 - 16n
b) 9850 - 271.72n
Step-by-step explanation:
a) starting number of bales = 580
each day, the farmer feeds out 2 bales of hay to each yard. he has 8 yards, so he feeds out 2 bales 8 times for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 bales. Therefore, he loses 16 bales each day
After the first day, he has 580-16 = 564 bales. After the second, he has 564-16 = 548 bales, and so on. He loses 16 bales n times for n days, and as a result, his final amount of bales is
original amount - amount lost = 580 - 16n
b)
First, we can calculate how much a bale weighs.
average = sum/count = 9850 kg / 580 ≈ 17 kg
Therefore, as he loses 16 bales of hay, he loses 17 kg 16 times, or approximately 271.72 kg of hay every day. For n days, he loses 271.72n kg. This brings his final amount to be
starting - amount lost = 9850 - 271.72n

Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The information in the question can be used to form an equation which goes thus:
2nd term = a + d = 4 ...... i
5th term = a + 4d = 22 ....... ii
From equation i
a = 4 - d ........ iii
Put equation iii into ii
a + 4d = 22
(4 - d) + 4d = 22
4 - d + 4d = 22
4 + 3d = 22
3d = 22 - 4
3d = 18
d = 18/3
d = 6
Commons difference is 6
Since a + d = 4
a + 6 = 4
a = 4 - 6
a = -2
The first term is -2
