Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of the given arithmetic sequence is
The first term of this series is:
The last term of this series is when
The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series when the first an last term is known is given by:
Where a=5 is the first term and l=27 is the last term.
The expression 3P2 can also be read as "permutation of 3 taken 2". This represents the number of ways in which the 3 items are arranged with the emphasis on the arrangement of the first two other items.
Answer: 416,592
Hope this helps!
To solve, we will follow the steps below:
3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)
5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)
since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)
adding equation (1) and (2) will result;
8x =32
divide both-side of the equation by 8
x = 4
We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y
To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.
We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3
The result will be;
15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)
15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)
subtract equation (4) from equation(3)
8y = -8
divide both-side of the equation by 8
y = -1
