<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

Ben's age is currently twice of his sister, Emma. 8 years ago, Ben's age was 2 and a half times that of Emma's age at that time.
Yakvenalex [24]

Emma is now 24 years old then Ben would be 2E, or 48 years old.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Let B and E be Ben's and Emma's current ages, respectively.

We have given that;

Ben's age is currently twice of his sister, Emma.

B = 2E

and

8 years ago, Ben's age was 2 and a half times that of Emma's age

B-8 = 2.5(E-8)      

We can substitute the value of B from the first equation into the last one

B-8 = 2.5(E-8)

(2E)-8 = 2.5(E-8)

2E-8 = 2.5E- 20

-0.5E = -12

E = 24

Thus, Emma is now 24 years old then Ben would be 2E, or 48 years old.
