Answer:

The first term is -6 and common difference is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as;

Tn = a + (n-1)d

T3 = a+2d

T4 = a + 3d

If the third term of an arithmetic sequence less than the fourth term by three

T3 = T4 - 3

a+2d = a+3d - 3

2d - 3d = -3

-d  = -3

d = 3

Similarly;

T7 = a+6d

T5 = a+4d

If the seventh term  is two times the fifth term, the;

T7 = 2T5

a+6d = 2(a+4d)

a+6d = 2a+8d

Since d = 3

a + 6(3) = 2a + 8(3)

a+18 = 2a + 24

a-2a = 24 - 18

-a = 6

a = -6

Hence the first term is -6 and common difference is 3

Find the slope of the given points (6, -10) and (-15, 15). Show your work.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line between two points can be calculated by dividing the difference of y values by the difference of x values

in this case

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{15-(-10)}{-15-6} = \frac{25}{-21} = \frac{-25}{21}

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not B because 7x^2 means multiplying the equation by seven. It isn't C because that would move the graph DOWN seven units. And it's not D because when it is in parenthesis like that, it means that it is a horizontal shift, not vertical.

A 47-foot-long piece of pipe is to be cut into three pieces. The second piece is three times as long as the first piece, and the
DanielleElmas [232]
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft

Elena-2011 [213]
To find out the amount Jenna earns, you need to multiply how much she earns per hour by the amount of hours she works for.

If she earns $8.75 for 1 hour, and works for 20 1/5 hours, she'll earn:
8.75 x 20 1/5 = 176.75

Jenna earns $176.75 before tax.
