Answer:

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8th term of AP = 17

12th term of AP = 25

Find:

First term a

Sum of first 20 term

Computation:

8th term of AP = 17

a + 7d = 17 ....... EQ1

12th term of AP = 25

a + 11d = 25 ...... EQ2

From EQ1 and EQ2

4d = 8

d = 2

a + 7d = 17

a + 7(2) = 17

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term

Sn = [n/2][2a + (n-1)d]

S20 = [20/2][(2)(3) + (20-1)2]

S20 = [10][(6) + 38]

S20 = [10][44]

S20 = 440

Sum of first 20 term = 440

A UCF graduate has 3 bank overdrafts per year, and the bank charges $35 per overdraft. The bank pays the graduate 1% interest pe
Elena L [17]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the cost of the overdrafts:

3 overdrafts * $35 = $105

Then, if he maintains an average monthly balance of $600, we can calculate = $600*12 months = $7200 (average yearly balance). And the bank pays him 1% interest per annum:

$7200 * 1% = $72 (this is what the bank pays the graduate per year)

So if the bank charges him $105 and pays him $72, then the net annual cost is = $105-$72= $33

The answer is the third option, which is: Trapezoid.

The explanation for this asnwer is shown below:

1- A rectangular pyramid is a solid whose base is a rectangle and its faces are triangles.

2- When you slice or cut a solid with a plane, you obtain a shape which is known as "Cross section".

3- In this case, if these plane is perpendicular to the base but does not pass through the top vertex of the rectangular pyramid, the intersection of the plane with the pyramid, or the resulting shape will be a trapezoid.

4x - 2y = -2 6x + 3y = 27
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = -2   ------------------(I)

6x + 3y = 27 ------------------(II)

Multiply (I) by 3 & multiply (II) by 2

(I)*3           12x - 6y = -6

(II)*2          <u>12x + 6y = 54</u>  { Now add &  y will be eliminated}

               24x          = 48

 x = 48/24

x = 2

Plugin the value of x in equation (I)

4*2 - 2y = - 2

8 - 2y = -2          {subtract 8 from both side}

-2y = -2 - 8

-2y = -10   {Divide both sides by -2}

y = -10/-2

y = 5
