I used R for Rick since I am putting everything in Rick's case. The equation would be (R+10)+(R-8)+(R-11)=315.
Once you add the same terms you end with 4R-9=315
You add 9 to both sides
4R=324
Then divide
R=81
For Don, since his is ten point higher, his would be 91.
Rick is 81.
Jackie would be 73 since it is 8 points less.
And Jared would be 70 since it is 3 point less.
Check by adding; 81+91+73+70=315
Tell me if this helps.

the arithmetic sequence ai is defined by the formula: a1 = -53 ai = ai-1 + 6 find the sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

The difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference, and the nth term is given by:

a_{n} = a_0 + (n-1)d

In which d is the common difference.

Sum of the first n terms:

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

S_{n} = \frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}

ai = ai-1 + 6

This means that d = 6

In this question:

Sum of the first 800 terms, so n = 800

First term is -53, so a_1 = -53

The 880th term is:

a_{880} = -53 + (880-1)*6 = 5221

Sum

S_{n} = \frac{880(-53+5221)}{2} = 440(-53+5221) = 2273920

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.

An atlas contains a map of Ohio. The table shows data from the key on the map.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The graph is attached

b) The table shows a linear relationship between x and y.

A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the value of y when x = 0.

x represent the distance on map in mm and y represent the actual distance in mile. The table (x, y) has the points (10, 25) and (20, 50). The equation is given by:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-25=\frac{50-25}{20-10} (x-10)\\\\y-25=2.5(x-10)\\\\y-25=2.5x-25\\\\y=2.5x

The slope m = 2.5. This means that for every 1 mm on the map, the actual distance increases by 2.5 miles.

c) y = 2.5x

put x = 48 mm

y = 2.5(48)

y = 120 miles

The actual distance between Toledo and Columbus is 120 miles

d) y = 2.5x

Put y = 225 miles

225 = 2.5x

x = 225/2.5

x = 90 mm

The distance on map between Cincinnati and Cleveland is about 90 mm.
