Answer:
Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.
Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.
Question asked:
Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.
Solution:
Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn =
<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>
Length of a rectangular wall of a barn =
As we know:
Subtracting both sides by 85
As width can never be in negative, hence width of a rectangular wall of a barn = = 5 feet
Length of a rectangular wall of a barn =
Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.
Answer: The tenth term is 76
=======================================================
Explanation:
We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term
Plug in and you should get the following:
The tenth term is <u>76</u>
---------
We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in which shifts everything one spot to the left.
