Answer:
a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The most general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence (such as this sequence is) is
a(n) = a(1) + c(n-1), where c is the common difference.
Here a(1) = -3 and c = -2.
Thus,
a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1).
The answer is 25 because
5*5=25
<span>x(t-u) = 3t
dividing both sides by (t-u):
So.. </span><span><em>x = 3t/(t-u)</em></span>
Answer:
108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Adult ticket $8 Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"
Student ticket $5 Call the number of student tickets sold "s"
Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284
Then we create two different equations with the information given:
a + s = 284
8 * a + 5 * s = 1948
we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a
and use it in the second equation
8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948
8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948
combining
3 a = 528
a = 528/3
a = 176
we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:
s - 284 - 176 = 108
Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets were sold.
