Solution
Part A
The general form of the n-th term = a + (n-1)d
Here we are given the 8th term A8 = 28
, common difference (d) = 6
A8 = a + (n - 1) 6
28 = a + (8- 1)6
28 = a + 7*6
28 = a + 42
a = 28 - 42
a = -14
Part B
n-th term is 760. a = -14 and d = 6.
Plugging in the values in the general form, we get
760 = -14 + (n -1)6
760 = -14 + 6n - 6
760 = -20 + 6n
6n = 760 + 20
6n = 780
Dividing both sides by 6, we get
n = 780/6 = 130
The value of n is 130

Step-by-step explanation:
A. 400, 500
The question mentions you make a profit, which is to make more money than what you spent or put in. All other choices would make the statement say you ended up having less money, which is money lost, not profit.
1) If the hats cost $12.50 each and the materials cost $5.50, then the fashion designer makes ($12.50 - $5.50 =) $7 per hat. So, to work out how many hats you must make, you need to divide how much you spend on advertising by how much you make per hat so, $1,400 ÷ $7 = 200 hats.
$12.50 - $5.50 = $7
$1,400 ÷ $7 = 200 hats
and your variable and equation is:
y = number of hats needed to sell
advertising = earnings of 1 hat x number of hats
1,400 = 7y
1,400÷7 = y
200 = y
∴ The fashion designer must make and sell 200 hats to break even and get back her $1,400 spent on advertising.
2) So, you do the same on this one as well. If he makes $2 per book, and binding and packaging cost $0.80, then you need to $2 - $0.80 to find how much each book will make you, the answer is $1.20 per book. Then you need to $864 ÷ $1.20 which equals 720 books.
$2 - $0.80 = $1.20
$864 ÷ $1.20 = 720 books.
and your variable and equation would be:
y = unknown number of books needed to sell
initial costs = earnings of 1 book x number of books
864 = 1.20y
864 ÷ 1.20 = y
720 = y
∴ The puzzle expert must sell 720 books to break even and earn back his initial costs of $864.
** I hope that's what you meant (putting it in an algebraic equation) and I hope is correct **
Answer:
box X with 126 sq. cm. i hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
okay so we have box X which is 6 * 3 * 7 = 126
then we have box Y which is 11 * 2 * 5 = 110
so box X will hold more
