Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 3 = 2x - 6
3x + 3 = -6
3x = -9
x = -3
If you are buying something that cost $15 and sale tax is 6%, you can calculate final bill trough proportions:
$15:100%=$x:106%
100x=106*15, x=(106*15)/100, x=$15.9 is final bill.
You can also use easier way: $15+0.06*$15=$15.9
Explanation for 2nd way: Cost is $15, on that you need to add 6% of $15: (6%/100%)*$15 and that is 0.06*15.
Answer:
1083 seats
Step-by-step explanation:
this is an arithmetic sequence :
an = an-1 + c
in our case
a1 = 10 (10 seats in the first row)
a2 = a1 + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11
a3 = a2 + 1 = a1 + 1 + 1 = 10 + 1 + 1 = 12
an = an-1 + 1 = a1 + (n-1)×1 = a1 + n - 1 = 10 + n - 1 = 9 + n
a38 = a1 + 37 = 10 + 37 = 47 seats.
altogether this means the sum of the arithmetic sequence of a1 to a38.
the general sum of an arithmetic sequence from a1 to an is
n×(a1 + an)/2
in our case
38×(10 + 47)/2 = 19×57 = 1083 seats
