<h3>Answer:  -10 and -40</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

a = 200 = first term

d = -30 = common difference

Tn = nth term

Tn = a + d(n-1)

Tn = 200 + (-30)(n-1)

Tn = 200 - 30n + 30

Tn = -30n + 230

Set Tn less than 0 and isolate n

Tn < 0

-30n + 230 < 0

230 < 30n

30n > 230

n > 230/30

n > 7.667 approximately

Rounding up to the nearest whole number gets us n \ge 8

So Tn starts to turn negative when n = 8

We can see that,

Tn = -30n + 230

T7 = -30*7 + 230

T7 = 20

and

Tn = -30n + 230

T8 = -30*8 + 230

T8 = -10 is the 8th term

and lastly

Tn = -30n + 230

T9 = -30*9 + 230

T9 = -40 is the ninth term

Or once you determine that T7 = 20, you subtract 30 from it to get 20-30 = -10 which is the value of T8. Then T9 = -40 because -10-30 = -40.

Answer:

- 10

- 40

Step-by-step explanation:

By the 7th term you should be pretty close to 0. Let's show that.

a1 = 200

n = 7

d = - 30

t7 = a1 + (n - 1)*d

t7 = 200 + (7 -1)*-30

t7 = 200 + 6*-30

t7 = 200 - 180

t7 = 20

This is the last term that is positive. when you take 30 away from t7 you are going to be in negative territory.

t8 = 200 + (8-1) * - 30

t8 = 200 + 7 * - 30

t8 = 200 - 210

t8 = - 10

Now the 9th term

t9 = 200 + (9 - 1)*-30

t9 = 200 + 8 * - 30

t9 = 200 - 240

t9 = - 40

Solve the equation. Show your work. 45 = 3b + 69
Cerrena [4.2K]
There should be no problem in finding the value of the unknown variable "b" in the equation given in the question.The equation is solvable for finding the value of "b" because it is the only unknown variable in the single equation that is given in the question.
45 = 3b + 69
Let us reverse both sides of the equation first. then, we get
3b + 69 = 45
3b = 45 - 69
3b = - 24
b = - (24/3)
   = - 8
So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the value of b in the given equation is -8.

Anton [14]

Answer: 3150 miles

Step-by-step explanation: Ok, let's break it down...

180 ÷ 2 = 90 / The train travels 90 mph....

90 * 7 = 630 / The jet travels 630 mph....

630 * 5 = 3150 / The jet will travel 3150 miles in 5 hours, I hope this helps!
