Answer:

A = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-4=-10a+50

8a-4+4=-10a+50+4

8a=-10a+54

8a+10a=-10a+54+10a

18a=54

54 / 18 = 3

A = 3

The answer would be a=3. to put it more clear, multiply the number outside of the parenthesis. so for example 4•2a is 8a, and 4•-1 is -4. since the -4 has no variable, it would just be 8a-4. next, the -10 times a positive a would be -10a. a positive times a negative is negative. next, do -10•-5 which is positive 50. remember, a negative times a negative is positive! after this, take the 8a-4=-10a+50 and add the constant and the variable (-10a) by the 8a. ALWAYS go right to left when subtracting or adding. you should get 18a. so 18a-4=50. take the negative four and add a positive four because you need to make the sides equal, add the four to 50, and you should get 18a=54. lastly, 54/18 is 3! so, A=3

Answer: aₙ = 3 + 4ⁿ⁻¹

So the formula would be:

aₙ = 3 + 4ⁿ⁻¹

Where a₁ = 3

Common Ratio (r) = 4

And n = the term number that needs to be found out

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check if the answer is right:

To find the 1st number in the term we can substitute 1 in for n in the equation:

a₁ = 3 + 4¹⁻¹

a₁ = 3 + 4⁰

a₁ = 3 + 1

a₁ = 4

And if going back and checking the first number in the sequence given is indeed 4, therefore this equation is correct

Hope this helps!

Joshua's goal is to sell more than 20 items at a farmers' market. So far, he has sold 6 items. Each of his customers buys 2 item

amid [387]

Answer:

More than 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Joshua's goal is to sell more than 20 items at a farmer's market.

Number of items already sold = 6

So, number of more items to be sold > Total number of items to be sold - Number of items already sold > 20 - 6 > 14

Given that each customer buys 2 items.

Let $c$ be the number of customers.

So, number of items bought be the customers = Number of items bought by each customer multiplied by the number of customers = $2c$

And as per the question statement,

Number of more items to be sold > 14 (as calculated in above step)

$2c>14\\\Rightarrow \bold{c>7}$

Therefore, the answer is: More than 7 additional customers are required.

A box contains four equal sized cards labeled 1,3,5,7 Tim will select one card from the box What is the probability that Tim wil

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

0 is the probability that Tim will select a card labeled with a number 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of cards = 4

Cards with labels:

1,3,5,7

Tim will select one card from the box. We have to find the probability that Tim will select a card labeled with a number 6.

Formula:

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

$\text{P(Label 6) = }\dfrac{0}{4}= 0$

0 is the probability that Tim will select a card labeled with a number 6. Thus, it is an impossible event.
