Answer:

  8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The $2 difference in the price of a car wash is made up by the gas purchase at the rate of $0.25 per gallon. So, it takes ...

  $2/($0.25/gal) = 8 gal

to make the costs the same.

The customer must purchase 8 gallons for the total cost to be the same at both gas stations.

___

  3.50g +8 = 3.25g +10 . . . . costs at each station for g gallons of gas + wash

  0.25g = 2 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.25g+8 from both sides

  g = 2/.25 = 8 . . . . . . the way we did it above

Hopes this helps:

Answer: D.

1. Simplify 12/18 to 2/3.
2/3 = 16/24


2. Simplify 16/24 to 2/3.
2/3 = 2/3


3. Some both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions.

- Write a recursive formula to represent the sequence below.<br> (3,7, 11, 15, 19,23,27,31,35, ...)
NemiM [27]

<em><u>The recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n  = 1, 2, 3, ....

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given a sequence is:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

<em><u>Let us find the difference between terms</u></em>

7 - 3 = 4

11 - 7 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

19 - 15 = 4

23 - 19 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

31 - 27 = 4

35 - 31 = 4

Thus the difference between terms is constant

Thus the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

<em><u>The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by:</u></em>

a_n =a_1+(n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here in the given sequence

d = 4

a_1=3

Substitute in above formula,

a_n = 3 + (n-1)(4)\\\\a_n = 3 + 4n - 4\\\\a_n = 4n - 1

<em><u>Thus the recursive formula to find nth term of sequence is:</u></em>

a_n = 4n - 1 \text{ where } n \geq 1 and n = 1, 2, 3, ......
