P=x+38
add all individual sides together (is also the perimeter):
p=(x+3)+(x-5)+x+(x-2)+(x-4)+(x-1)+(x-1)
=7x-10
set both p equal:
x+38=7x-10
38=6x-10
48=6x
8=x
then insert x=8 in all the side/perimeter equations:
p=x+38=8+38=46
sides:
x=8
x-2=8-2=6
x-1=8-1=7
x-4=8-4=4
x-5=8-5=3
x+3=8+3=11
109+3=112 apples
112÷4=28 apples
28 apples were in each boxs
The answer is B. 0.25 inch. Lets multiply all of them by the same factor. Since A. and B. have 3 decimals, lets divide all numbers by 1000: A. 0.026 * 1000 = 26, B. 0.25 * 1000 = 250, C. 0.24 * 1000 = 240, D. 0.025 * 1000 = 25. So, by comparing the whole numbers, it can be concluded that the biggest steel rod is B. 0.25 inch.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Choice E.
Discussion:
Assuming that n >=1, a(n) = 4n -1, then
a(10) = 4(10) - 1 = 39
but that doesn't match any of the answers...... hmm...
BUT
If you meant that a(n) = 4^(n-1), then
a(10) = 4^(10-1) = 4^9 = 262144
which is Choice E.
Thank you,
MrB
