Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches
d = 103/12 inches
n = 3 weeks
the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,
T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12
T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6
T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches

Answer:
- 4 3-point baskets
- 7 2-point baskets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 2-point baskets Nicoli made. Then (x -3) is the number of 3-point baskets. The total number of points is ...
2x +3(x -3) = 5x -9 = 26
5x = 35 . . . . . . add 9
x = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 5
(x -3) = 4 . . . find the number of 3-point baskets
Jokic made 7 2-point baskets and 4 3-point baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x=3, y=7 when x+y=z
z=3+7
z=10
