Answer:
The 5 in 8523 is 10x greater than the 5 in 9852.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the place value of the two number's digit 5:
8<u>5</u>23: Hundreds place value.
98<u>5</u>2: Tens place value.
10 x 10 = 100 ∴ The 5 in 8523 (hundreds place value) is 10x greater than the 5 in 9852 (tens place value).

Step-by-step explanation:
well, as you can witness both of the equations are equal to y, so you're free to reckon that they are equal as well

Take the sequence in 1a
The 10th term is 31
The 20th is 61
If you wanted to find these by continuing the series, you'd have to add 3 to the last number in the series, then 3 more, then 3 more, until you reach the 20th term. By this point, you will have added 3 to the first term 19 times. That's where the formula comes from. So here,
a = 4, the first term
n = 20, the number of the term we need
d = 3, how much we're adding each time between one term and the next
Then, to get the 20th term,
4 + (20 - 1) • 3 = 4 + (19 • 3) = 4 + 57 = 61
Answers
The 10th and 20th terms of each sequences are
a. 31; 61
b. 48; 98
c. 47; 97
(in <em>c</em>, you're adding the same <em>d</em> as in the sequence above, but your first term is one unit less)
d. -25; -75
(same thing as before, but now, <em>d</em> is negative)
e. 11.5; 16.5
(with <em>d</em>=1/2 or 0.5)
f. 6+1/2; 8+1/2
Use these to check your answers after applying the formula, but know that I calculated on the fly and didn't check these.
Answer:
127.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given series is 26 + 24.5 + 23 + 21.5 + ... - 17.5
The first term of this series is a=26
The common difference is d=24.5-26=-1.5
The last term of the series is -17.5
The nth term is given by:




n=30
The sum of the series:



pretty much about the same as before.
a = weight of a large box
b = weight of a small box.
we know their combined weight is 65 lbs, thus a + b = 65.
we also know that the truck has 60 large ones, and 55 small ones, thus 60*a is the total weight for the large ones and 55*b is the total weight for the small ones, and we know that is a total of 3775, 60a + 55b = 3775.
