Hey there!

Let's write this as a system of equations.

m+b=31

b= 2m-11

Let's plug our value for b into the first equation and solve for m.

m+2m-11=31

Let's combine like terms.

3m-11=31

We add 11 to both sides.

3m=42

We divide both sides by 3.

m=14

Therefore, Maggie is <u>14 years old.</u>

I hope this helps!

Suppose y = 48 + 3(2n - 1) is an explicit representation of an arithmetic sequence for integer values n ≥ 1. Find the xth partia
omeli [17]
a_n=48+3(2n-1)

The formula of the sum of the arithmetic sequence:
S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a__n}{2}\cdot n
calculate:
a_1=48+3(2\cdot1-1)=48+3=51
substitute
S_n=\dfrac{51+48+3(2n-1)}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{99+6n-3}{2}\cdot n=\dfrac{96+6n}{2}\cdot n=3n^2+48n
Your answer is:
\boxed{f(x)=3x^2+48x}

50 points!!! Basic math!
tangare [24]

Formula for the area of the triangle:

1/2 bh

b = base

h = height

#6.

Area = 36 in²

Base = 18 in

36 = 1/2(18)h

36 = 9h

36 ÷ 9 = h

4 = h

height = 4 in

#7.

Area = 2 ft²

Height = 1 ft

2 = 1/2 b (1)

2 = 1/2 b

2 ÷ 1/2 = b

4 = b

Base = 4 ft

#8.

Area = 42 in²

Base = 12 in

42 = 1/2 (12) h

42 = 6h

42 ÷ 6 = h

7 = h

Height = 7 in

Notice that the answers have no exponents (²). That is because they are used only on the area of shapes as units.

Since you find the area by multiplying things together, for example x · x = x², the exponent is there.

You do not need to worry about this being in the calculation. This will just be in units such as:

cm²

ft²

in²

m²

Just remember to use these exponents in the units for the areas.
