Answer:

An equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 17, 12, 7, 2 is 17-5n.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

first term(a)=17

common difference (d)=t2-t1

=12-17

=-5

nth term of the arithmetic sequence = a+n×d

=17+n×-5

=17-5n

3x+10=4x+10 what is the answer?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

x is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract both sides by 3x. Then, you will have 10= x+10. Subtract 10 on both sides to isolate x, then you will have x=0. Therefore, this equation on both sides has a solution of 0. Hope this helps!

How many L of an 85% alcohol solution must be mixed with 6 L of a 55% alcohol solution to make a 65% solution?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

3 Liters of the 85% Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to draw your buckets. I can't on computer so imagine the fraction bar is the bottom of the buckets.

$\frac{85}{x}+\frac{55}{6}=\frac{65}{x+6}$

Then we multiply the top of the buckets with the bottom:

85x+330=65x+390

Now we simplify and solve

20x=60

x=3

You need 3 liters of the 85% solution!

Write an equation of a line parallel to y=1/2x+3 that passes through (2,5)

tamaranim1 [39]

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 \parallel y=mx+b$

Two lines are parallel when their slopes are the same.
$m=\frac{1}{2} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+b \\ \\ (2,5) \\ x=2 \\ y=5 \\ \Downarrow \\
5=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 + b \\ 5=1+b \\ b=4 \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+4}
