First exercise:
a. The first prime numbers are 2,3,5,7,11,... So, the greatest prime interger between 4 and 9 is 7. A = 7.
b. Since the number line's growing direction is rightwards, going to the left means to decrease. So, point E is 4 less than point A, i.e. 7-4 = 3. E = 3.
c. The additive inverse of a number
is another number
such that
. So, we're looking form a number such that
, and thus O = - 3.
d. This point looks a bit ambiguous to me honestly. We know that IO = 2, which I presume means that the points I and O are two units apart, but we're not told if I is two units left or right with respect to O. To solve this issue, I'm assuming that IO implies that I sits before O, and so I is two units left with respect to O. As we said in point a., two units left means two less, so we have I = -3-2 = -5. At this point, point L is halfway between -5 and -3, and thus L = - 4.
e. The sum of the coordinates of A and E is 7 + 3 = 10. Half that sum is 5, so M = 5.
In the attached image, you can see the number line filled with the points asked by the exercise.
Second exercise:
All the requests can be written as an equation in which we look for the values of x. Below you find the equation and the solutions.





A little side note: I've honestly never met the expression "subtract A to B", but always "subtract A from B". I assumed they mean the same thing, but if anybody thinks I'm wrong please let me know! (I'm not a native speaker, so I can only refer to the math I met during my studies).

Answer:
50kg
Step-by-step explanation:
25 kg of a 15% salt solution
25kg * 15%
25kg * 15/100 = 3.75 kg
3.75kg * 100/5
3.75 * 20 = 75
Mass of water in kg increased from 25kg to 75kg
75kg - 25kg = 50kg of water must be added.
Step-by-step explanation:
an arithmetic sequence is a sequence of terms, where every term is created by adding a certain constant to the previous term.
a geometric sequence is when every term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant.
the x coordinate serves as "n" counter of the terms in the sequence.
and the y coordinate is the actual sequence term of that "n".
so, we have
a1 = 4
a2 = 8
a3 = 16
a4 = 32
A)
I think, now it is obvious : the sequence is built by multiplying the previous term by 2.
and this is therefore a geometric sequence.
B)
a2 = a1 × 2 = 4×2 = 8 minutes
a3 = a2 × 2 = a1 × 2 × 2 = 4 × 2 × 2 = 4 × 2² = 16 minutes
a4 = a3 × 2 = 16 × 2 = 32 minutes
a5 = a4 × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64 minutes
C)
based on B we see
an = an-1 × 2 = a1 × 2^(n-1) = 4 × 2^(n-1) = 2² × 2^(n-1) =
= 2^(n+1) minutes
therefore
a8 = 2^(n+1) = 2⁹ = 512 minutes
