So, we know the sum of the first 17 terms is -170, thus S₁₇ = -170, and we also know the first term is 2, well
well, since the 17th term is that much, let's check what "d" is then anyway,
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of years. The suburb population is growing at a rate of 5000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:
320000 + 5000x
The city population is declining at a rate of 14000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:
624000 - 14000x
The number of years for the city and suburb population to be equal can be gotten from:
320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x
14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000
19000x = 304000
x = 304000 / 19000
x = 16
In 16 years the populations of the suburb and the city be equal

Answer:
where is the spinner
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of people is 55
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x
⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x
⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x
⇒ 3x = 33
⇒ x = 11
Step 2:
Find total number of people.
33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55
