Answer:
y=5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
certain positive number: x
x is multipled by 4:
4x
result of this is subtracted from the original number:
so original number minus 4x,
x - 4x
the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21
x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21
do algebra:
-3x = -21
multiply both sides by -1
3x = 21
divide both sides by 3
x=7
(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x -t -250)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount left from x after paying t and 250 is ...
x -t -250
If this is split into two equal parts, each share is ...
share = (x -t -250)/2
Answer:
1). 
2). 


Step-by-step explanation:
First term of an arithmetic sequence is (-1) and common difference is 5.
Then we have to find twenty fifth term of this arithmetic sequence.
Since explicit formula of an arithmetic sequence is represented by

Where
represents nth term of the sequence.
a = first term
n = number of term
and d = common difference
Now we will find 25th term of this sequence.

= (-1) + 120
= 119
Similarly in second part of this question we have to find first three terms of an arithmetic sequence in which
and

Now from the explicit formula
17 = a + (21 - 1)d
17 = a + 20d --------(1)
75 = a + (50 - 1)d
75 = a + 49d --------(2)
Now we subtract equation 1 from 2
75 - 17 = 49d - 20d
29d = 58
d = 
By putting d = 2 in equation 1
17 = a + 20×2
17 = a + 40
a = 17 - 40
a = -23
Therefore, first three terms of this sequence will be



10x + 9
because the -6x and positive 6x cancel out and all you have left is 2+2+5 and 10x
