Answer:

Tn = -n^2 - n + 21 is the formula for the nth term.

Step-by-step explanation:

The second differences are all equal in this quadratic sequence.

Now, the quadratic sequence has a formula of Tn = an^2 + bn + c

Find the value of a in an^2 by dividing the difference by 2:

-2/2 = -1

a = -1

Since T1 is 19 and T2 is 15 we can put that into the equation and simplify:

b + c = 20

2b +  c = 19

Thus, b = -1 , c = 19 and the general formula for the nth term is Tn = -n^2 - n + 21

Use elimination to solve<br><br> 3y-6x=7-4y-3x=9
Masja [62]
Reorder both sides

3y-6x=9
7-4y-3x=9

Multiply both sides
-6x-3y=9
6x+8y=-4

Dived both sides

11y= 5

Y=5/11

Substitute the value of Y

-3x-4(5/11)

Equals —> -14/11

Answer : (5/11 , -14/11)

A solution of salt and water is 20% salt. If 25% of the water is removed, what is the percentage of salt in the new solution?
Ratling [72]
So lets say that this salt and water solution consists of 100 liters.

Then that means 20 liters is salt, and 80 liters out of the 100 is water.



Now, we remove 25% of the water. 25% of 80 liters is 20 liters. So, we are left with 80-20, or 60 liters.



Now in all we have 20 liters of salt, and 60 liters of water.

The percentage of salt in the new mixture will be 20/(20+60) = 20/80 = 25%.



Your answer is 25%
