Answer:

Number of limes are 20

Number of oranges are 22

Number of cherries are 26

Step-by-step explanation:

number of pieces of total candies = 68

Let the number of limes is y.

Number of orange = y + 2

Number of cherry = 4 + y + 2

So,

According to the question

y + y + 2 + 4 + 2 + y = 68

3 y + 8 = 68

3y = 60

y = 20

Number of limes are 20

Number of oranges are 22

Number of cherries are 26

Prove that (n+5)^2-(n+3)^2 is a multiple of 4 for all positive integer values of n
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(n+5)^2-(n+3)^2

Required

Show that (n+5)^2-(n+3)^2 is a multiple of 4

Expand each bracket

(n+5)(n+5)-(n+3)(n+3)

Open brackets

n^2 + 5x + 5x + 25 - (n^2 + 3x + 3x + 9)

n^2 + 10x + 25 - (n^2 + 6x + 9)

Open bracket

n^2 + 10x + 25 - n^2 - 6x - 9

Collect Like Terms

- n^2 + n^2 - 6n + 10n + 25  - 9

- 6n + 10n + 25  - 9

4n + 25  - 9

4n + 16

Factorize

4(n + 4)

Hence, the multiples of (n+5)^2-(n+3)^2 are 4 and (n + 4)

Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence 1,-1, -3, ...
frutty [35]
Answer:
-2

Explanation:
The common difference of a sequence is the difference between consecutive terms. To find it, we subtract two consecutive terms.

1, -1, -3

1 and -1 are consecutive terms.
-1-1=-2

Therefore, the common difference is -2.

We can also try the same thing with -3 and -1, since they are also consecutive terms.

-3-(-1)
=-3+1
=-2

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
