Given parameters:
First term of the sequence = x
Second term = x + 2
Third term = x + 4
Sum of the first three terms = 72
Unknown:
First term of the sequence = ?
Solution:
The sum of the first three terms is unknown;
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72
Solve for x;
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 6
3x = 66
x = 
= 22
The first term of the sequence is 22
Answer:
y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
2y+5y-7=0
Combine y: 7y-7=0
Move 7 over: 7y=7
Divide by 7:y=1
Answer:
27/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's set this up as a proportion (2 equal ratios).
If you multiply the diagonal numbers, their products will be equal. (412×g=103×184). This is called cross multiplying. Now we can solve for g.
412g=18952
Divide both sides by 412.
g=46
Therefore, the boat will need 46 gallons of gasoline to go 184 miles.
Have a wonderful day! :D
OK so where is the weekly math homework!?
