He multiplied rather than dividing.

Hope this helps!
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is
d =
-
=
- 
Substitute in values and solve for k, that is
5k - 1 - 2k = 6k + 2 - (5k - 1)
3k - 1 = 6k + 2 - 5k + 1
3k - 1 = k + 3 ( subtract k from both sides )
2k - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )
2k = 4 ⇒ k = 2
--------------------------------------------------------
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
=
+ (n - 1)d
= 2k = 2 × 2 = 4 and
d = 5k - 1 - 2k = 3k - 1 = (3 × 2) - 1 = 5
Hence
= 4 + (7 × 5) = 4 + 35 = 39
Answer:
Starting time: 1:37
Step-by-step explanation:
Instead of proof to solve the problem, let us prove that the starting time above is correct;
1. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 60 - 37 = the minutes 'till 2:00, or 23 minutes
2. Knowing that the time the truck stopped driving through the neighborhood was 5 minutes past 2:00, the minute difference being 23 + 5, or <em>28 minutes</em>
<em>Proved: 28 minutes</em>
Answer:
307.5
Step-by-step explanation:
He drove 123 miles in 2 hours. If you go 100 miles in 2 hours that means you went 50 miles in one hour right? Using the same logic we can convert 123 miles in 2 hours to 61.5 miles per hour and then multiply it by 5.
