Answer:
yea kind of but not in detail
Answer:
b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
4 ( 3b + 2 ) - 5b = 43 Given
( 4 • 3b + 4 • 2 ) - 5b = 43 Distributive Property
12b + 8 - 5b = 43
12b - 5b + 8 = 43 Combine like terms
7b + 8 = 43
7b + 8 - 8 = 43 - 8 Subtraction Property of Equality
7b = 35
7b / 7 = 35 / 7 Division Property of Equality
b = 5
In fraction form the answer would be -2 4/5.
Answer:
a. it is arithmentic - this is because for each term there is a constant increase of 4, and the change between each term <u>doesn't change</u>
b. you need to find the nth term, by using the equation difference x n + 0th term: the difference is (+)4 and the 0th term is -9 (-5 is the 1st term, so to go one back we subtract 4 - the inverse operation), so the nth term is 4n -9. Now we do the inverse operation on 119 to see if it's a term (it is a term if it's an integer. So, first we do 119 <u>plus</u> 9 (inverse of - 9) to get 128, then divide it by 4 rather than multiplying. This gives us 32, and that tells us that 119 is the 32nd term of the sequence.
mean = (sum of values) / (number of values)
we know mean is 13 and we are given 8 values. The ninth value is the missing x:
13 = ((sum of 8 values) + x)/9
13 = (12+10+15+12+13+15+11+15+x)/9
13*9 = 103+x
x = 14
The missing value is 14. There are 14 pillows in the last box.
