It's saying <em>d </em><em> </em>÷ <em>h </em><em> </em>= <em>x.</em>
<em>d </em> is the money
<em>h</em> is the hours
<em>x</em> is the unknown answer
This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.
We know a=1 and d=7 so:
a(n)=1+7(n-1)
a(n)=1+7n-7
a(n)=7n-6
The above is the "rule" for the nth term.
5(2x-8)+15=-15 -15 in both sides
5(2x-8)=-30 /5
2x-8=-6 +8
2x=2 /2
x=1
I hope it helps
The problem requires us to find the rate or speed of Lilli in miles per hour. Therefore, we just have to divide the given data.
12/110 = 0.10909.... Therefore, Lilli's speed or rate is 0.11 mi/hr.
