Answer:

d = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a7 = -9

a19 = 39

We know the formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

Using the givens:

a7 = -9 = a1 +d(7-1)

a19 = 39 =a1 +d(19-1)

Subtracting these equations

-9 = a1 +d(6)

39 =a1 +d(18)

------------------------

-48 = 0 -12 d

Divide by -12

4 =d

Mandy is selling pancakes and waffles at her diner. On Monday she sold a total of 300 pancakes and waffles. If she charges $3 pe

Answer:

Mandy sold 250 pancakes and 50 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can say that the sum of pancakes and waffles is equal to 300:

x+y=300

Also, the statement indicates that she charges $3 per pancake, $1 per waffle, and made a total of $800 and you can express this as:

3x+y=800

You have the following equations:

x+y=300 (1)

3x+y=800 (2), where:

x is the number of pancakes she sold

y is the number of waffles she sold

Now, you can solve for x in (1):

x=300-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2):

3(300-y)+y=800

900-3y+y=800

900-800=2y

100=2y

y=100/2

y=50

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=300-50

x=250

According to this, the answer is that Mandy sold 250 pancakes and 50 waffles.

Blueberry high-fiber muffins contain 51 % dietary fiber by mass. If a package with a net weight of 18 oz contains six muffins, h

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

In each muffin there are 1.53oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to get the weight of just one muffin. If the package contains six muffins we must divide the total weight by six.

$weight_{unit}=\frac{18oz}{6}=3oz$

The weight of just one muffin is 3oz.

Now, the problem says that blueberry high-fiber muffins contain 51 % dietary fiber by mass, which means that we must calculate the 51% of 3oz. We must take into account that 51% equals 51/100 which is 0.51. The equation would be:

$fiber=(3oz)(0.51)=1.53oz$

Finally, in each muffin there are 1.53oz of fiber.
