Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
total: 12 roses
white roses: 5
pink roses: 7
fraction of pink roses = 7/12
Actually, this answer would be true. Why?
The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23
The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em>
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em>
13+5=18.
Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!
Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 
So, the equation we want to solve is
Subtract 3x from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Each pair of numbers gives a value then another value that is 1/2 of the first. So the answer would be
6 = 3
