Answer:

The first term is:

  • a_1=-61

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is defined by

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

where

a_1 is the first term

d is the common difference

as

the 17th term of an arithmetic sequence is 51.

i.e. a_{17}=51

so

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

a_{17}=a_1+\left(17-1\right)d        

51=a_1+\left(17-1\right)7         ∵ n = 17, a_{17}=51 , d=7

a_1+112=51                   ∵ \left(17-1\right)\cdot \:\:7=112

a_1=-61

Therefore, the first term is:

  • a_1=-61

Answer:

5.27 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mya has 3 times as much floor as Eric. Mya has 15.81 lb of floor. The relation is given by :

Let Eric has F floor.

3F = 15.81 ...(1)

We need to find how much flour Eric has.

Dividing both sides by 15.81.

F = 15.81/3

F = 5.27 lb

Hence, Eric has 5.27 lb of flour.

an article after allowing a discount of 20% on its marked price was sold at a gain of 20% had it been sold after allowing 25% di
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Rs 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let MP = m

Discount = 25% of MP = m/4

SP = MP - Discount

= m - m/4 = 3m/4

If profit is 20%, CP = 3m/4 x 100/120 = 5m/8

=> Profit = 3m/4 - 5m/8 = m/8

Given Profit - Discount = Rs 15

=> |m/8 - m/4| = 15

m/8 = 15

m = Rs 120

1. Ron makes $1,659 a month. What is the maximum monthly rent he can afford?
Mashutka [201]
Here are my notes for monthly rents:

<span>Landlords typically require that your annual income is at least 40 times the monthly rent. For example, if you and your roommate are looking at a $3,000 per month apartment, the landlord would require a combined income of $3,000 × 40, which equals $120,000. To determine how much rent you (and your potential roommates) can afford, simply divide your combined annual incomes by 40.
