Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
7(x + 4) - 7 = 48 - 2x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
7x + 28 - 7 = 48 - 2x
7x + 21 = 48 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )
9x + 21 = 48 ( subtract 21 from both sides )
9x = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 3
9.8 meters divided by .14 meter pieces. 70 pieces that Ralph can cut from the spool.
You are right ! It is 8.246 and so on ;)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first term is a and common difference is d.
<u>The nth term is:</u>
<u>We have:</u>
<u>The difference of these terms is:</u>
- (a + 8d) - (a + 5d) = 16 - 15
- 3d = 1
- d = 1/3
<u>Then the first term is:</u>
- a + 5*1/3 = 15
- a = 15 - 5/3 = 13 1/3
<u>The nth term equation is:</u>
- aₙ = 13 1/3 + 1/3(n - 1) = 1/3n + 13
<u>If the nth term is 22, find n:</u>
- 1/3n + 13 = 22
- 1/3n = 22 - 13
- 1/3n = 9
- n = 9*3
- n = 27
