Answer:

a) a1=15 first term

b) d=-8 common difference

Step-by-step explanation:

1)a1+d=7

2)a1+a2+a3+a4=12

a1+a1+d+a1+2d+a1+3d=12

4a1+6d=12

2a1+3d=6

We have the system of equations where a1+d=7 and 2a1+3d=6

3a1+3d=21

2a1+3d=6

Subtract the second equation from the first one

a1=15

d=-8

4 to the 8th power divided by 4 to the 5th power
Natasha2012 [34]

Alright, 4 to the 8th power is 4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4 which ends up as 65,536.

4 to the 5th power is the same thing but with 5 4's and that is 1,024.

All you need to do now is 65,536/1,024 = 64.

Solved!  :D

before getting to school john has a few errands to run john has to walk 5 blocks to the galley and 9 blocks to the library befor
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  9 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of what John has already walked and the number more he must walk will be equal to the number he has to walk to get to school.

  12 + more = 5 + 9 + 7

  more = 9 + 5 + 7 - 12 . . . . . subtract 12 from both sides

  more = 9

John must walk 9 blocks more.

_____

We recognize that 5+7 = 12, so that last part of the sum totals zero.
