Answer: first term = 6

Common difference = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight term =a +(n-1)d = a +(8-1)d = a + 7d

Third term = a+(n-1)d = a + (3-1)d =a + 2d

a + 7d = 2(a + 2d)

a + 7d = 2a + 4d

7d - 4d = 2a - a

a = 3d

The fifth term is equal to 14. This is:

a + 4d = 14

Put the value of a into the equation here

3d + 4d = 14

7d = 14

d = 14/7

d = 2

Recall that a + 4d = 14

a + 4(2) = 14

a + 8 = 14

a = 14 - 8

a = 6

The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five. Which equation represents the sentence?
weeeeeb [17]
The "product" of two numbers means you multiply them.

So, you are multiplying (8-n), where n = "a number," by 7.

Then, when you decrease (subtract) this product by 5, you get 40.

So the whole thing looks like

7(8-n) - 5 = 40.

The arnold family arrived ar the beach at 10:30 A.M. Thay spent 3 3/4hours there. What time dud they leave the beach?
VMariaS [17]
The arnold family arrived at the beach at 10:30 A.M.

10:30 

Add 3 hours and 3/4 minutes to that

3/4 = 75% of 60

.75 * 60 = 45

3 hours and 45 minutes 

10:30 >> 3 hours more = 1:30
1:30 + 45 mins = 2:15

Answer would be: They left at 2:15
