IrinaK [193]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

a. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Sₙ = n/2 * (2 * a₁ + (n-1) * d)

Sₙ = 500 a₁ = -4 d = 2

500 = n/2 * (-8 + (n-1) * 2) = n/2 * (-8 + 2n - 2) = n/2 * (2n - 10) = n² -5n

n² - 5n -500 = 0

(n - 25) (n + 20) = 0

n > 0

n = 25

3.3 by 2.5 + 5.7 by 2.5

den301095 [7]

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS, we know that for expressions such as this, we're supposed to multiply before we add. This means that it should look something like this: (3.3 x 2.5) + (5.7 x 2.5). When you solve the multiplication first, you get 8.25 + 14.25. Solve, and you get 22.5. This problem can be solved using any basic calculator, or scratch paper!
