Answer:

$200, $300, $500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total Amount= $1000

Ratio= 2:3:5

The combined ratio is = 10

Let us apply the part to all method to find the individual amount

The first person will take

10/1000= 2/x

1/100=2/x

cross multiply

x= 200

The second person will take

10/1000= 3/x

1/100=3/x

cross multiply

x= 300

The third person will take

10/1000= 5/x

1/100=5/x

cross multiply

x= 500

Find the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence X – 9, -X – 11, -3.3 – 13, ...

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$-13x-23$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence: $x-9, -x-11, -3x-13$

Therefore,

$a_1=x-9$
$a_2=-x-11$
$a_3=-3x-13$

General form of an arithmetic sequence: $a_n=a+(n-1)d$

(where a is the first term and d is the common difference)

To find the common difference, subtract a term from the next term:

$\begin{aligned}d & =a_2-a_1\\ & =(-x-11)-(x-9)\\ & = -x-11-x+9\\ & = -2x-2\end{aligned}$

Therefore,

$a_n & =(x-9)+(n-1)(-2x-2)$

To find the 6th term, input n = 6 into the equation:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a_6 & =(x-9)+(6-1)(-2x-2)\\ & = (x-9)+7(-2x-2)\\ & = x-9-14x-14\\ & = -13x-23\end{aligned}$

Solve the inequality |x − 6| − 10 < 1 Write the answer as a compound inequality

Tju [1.3M]

|x-6| < 1 + 10 (move 10 to the right side)
|x-6| < 11

1)x-6 < 11 (here x >= 6)
2)-x+6 < 11 (here x < 6)

1)x<17
2)x>-5

so we get -5 < x < 17

the answer: (-5; 17)
