First you write down all even integers that divide 20.

Those are: 2,4,10,20

Since the request is that integer is less than n, 20 cannot be the answer.
This means that greatest even integer is 10

Answer is 10.

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is −4 and the sum of the first four terms is −255?

Sn=A1(1-r^n)/(1-r)
Sum of a finite geometric series formula
We know the sum, number of terms and rate, so you plug those in.
-255=A1(1-(-4)^4))/(1-(-4)
-255=A1(1-256)/5
-255=A1(-255)/5
-1275=A1(-255)
5=A1

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any questions.

In a chest there are some gold coins. Captain takes half the coins. Sally takes a quarter of the coins. There are 3 coins left.
amid [387]

Answer:

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Can someone please help me.. very quickly .. thank you
Alisiya [41]
X/8 + 12 = 16 
start by subtracting twelve from both sides
x/8 + 12 = 16 
      - 12   -12
You're left with x/8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 8
8× x/8 = 4 ×8
Your answer is x = 32
If you need to simplify, the answer is 2.
