<u>Number of terms = 48</u>

<u>common difference = 1.5</u>

This question involves the concept of Arithmetic Progression.

  • The formula for sum of an arithmetic progression series with first and last term given is;

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}(a + l)

where;

a = first term

l = last term

n = number of terms

  • From the given sequence, we see that;

first term; a = 4

last term; l = 76

Sum of A.P; S_{n} = 1920

  • Plugging in relevant values into the sum of an AP formula, we have;

1920 = \frac{n}{2}(4 + 76)

simplifying this gives;

1920 = 40n

n = 1920/40

n = 48

  • Formula for nth term of an AP is;

t_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d

where;

a_{1} is first term

d is common difference

n is number of term

t_{n} is the nth term in question

the 48th term is 76

Thus;

76 = 4 + (48 - 1)d

76 - 4 = 47d

72 = 47d

d = 72/47

d ≈ 1.5

Thus;

Number of terms = 48

common difference = 1.5

A rectangle has a perimeter of (20x+12y). If one side of the rectangle is (3x-4y), write the expression for the other side
Nady [450]

Answer:

(7x + 10y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this add (3x - 4y) to itself to calculate to lengths of the shorter sides.

(3x - 4y) + (3x - 4y) = 6x - 8y

Subtract this from (20x + 12y)

(20x + 12y) - (6x - 8y) = 14x + 20y     Divide this by two to get the length of one side

14x + 20y / 2 = 7x + 10y
