X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope
x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5
…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long
Answer:
The expression used to find the nth term of each sequence 9, 17, 25, 33 will be:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence
9, 17, 25, 33
a₁ = 9
<em>Determining the common difference</em>
d = 17-9 = 8
d = 25-17 = 8
d = 33-25 = 8
As the common difference between the adjacent terms is same and equal to
d = 8
Therefore, the given sequence is an Arithmetic sequence.
An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

substituting a₁ = 9, d = 8 in the equation


Therefore, the expression used to find the nth term of each sequence 9, 17, 25, 33 will be:
Simply set up a proportion. 1/3 = x/48. Cross multiply afterwards. 48 = 3x. Solve the equation. x = 16. By using proportions which is another form of a ratio you can easily find out that there are 16 adults at the school. Hope this helps :))
If I am correct the answer is 1.
You can do multiply 3 by 6/8 which will give you 2 1/4 or if in a decimal 2.25.
Then do 3 by -1/2 which will give you -1 1/2 and in decimal its -1.5.
You continue with the equation, 2.25 -1.5 = 0.75 + 0.25 = 1
Add them all together and you get 1...!
Hope this Helps :)
