Answer:

the first term is a1

the distance between the numbers is d

we have:

a5 = a1 + 4d = 23

a12 = a1 + 11d = 72

so we have the equation:

a1 + 4d = 23

a1 + 11d = 72

=> a1 = -5

d = 7

=> an = -5 + 7(n - 1) = 7n - 12

with an = 7n - 12

=> a2 = 2

a3 = 9

so the first three terms is -5; 2; 9

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 + 1/4

To add these fractions, you need a lowest common denominator.  Both 4 and 8 "go into" 8, so the lowest common denominator is 8.

In order to change the denominator 4 to 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2.  So, 1/4 becomes 2/8.

Now, the problem is 3/8 + 2/8.  

You can add the numerators, because the denominator is the same for each fraction.

3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8

Lines L and K are parallel to each other. Measure of angle A= 120 degrees, and measure of angle C= 80 degrees. What is the numbe
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

160°

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I am doing it may not be the correct way but it works. What I did was take 90° away from 120° to make it 30° as if there is a line. I did this so I could make a triangle. Using the triangle addition postulate, I Added 30 to 80  to get 110 than subtracted that from 180 to get 70. Lastly, i added 90°  to 70°  to get 160°

Hope this helped you get the answer :)
