hoa [83]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

The answer is (-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>

a₁ = (-6)
a₂ = (-4)
and so on,

a₃ = ?

Here, we will use AP

Now, Common Difference (d)

d = a₂ – a₁ = (-4) – (-6) = (-4) + 6 = 2

Here, Common Difference (d) is 2

So,

a₃ = a₂ + d

a₃ = (-4) + 2

a₃ = -2

Thus, The missing number in this sequence is (-2).

The sum of two numbers is 80 . The ratio of those two numbers is 3:5 find the larger Number

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

the larger number is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice there are two unknown numbers. Let's address the smaller one as x and the larger one as y. now we can write two equations from translating the phrases given into algebraic expressions:

"the sum of two numbers is 80" can be written as:

$x+y=80$

Now the second phrase:

"The ratio of those two numbers is 3/5"

Notice here that in our ratio we need to use our small number (x) in the numerator of the quotient, and the larger number (y) in the denominator to make it in agreement with the small and larger numbers of the ratio $\frac{3}{5}$ , and solve for x:

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{5} \\x= \frac{3}{5}y$

Replace the value of x we just obtained in the first equation we wrote, so we obtain one equation with only one unknown hat we should be able to solve:

$x+y=80\\\frac{3}{5} y+y=80\\\frac{3}{5} y+\frac{5}{5} y=80\\\frac{8}{5}y=80 \\8y=80*5\\8y=400\\y=\frac{400}{8} \\y=50$

Therefore the larger number (y) equals 50.

Fatheya and Fatema, along with 30 other people, sign up to audition for a talent show. Contestants are called at random to perfo

galina1969 [7]

So there's 30 people or slots. The odds that Fatheya will be chosen to perform first is 1/30. But now there's one less slot.

Now with Fatema, there's 29 slots, so there's a 1/29 chance. Then combine these values by multiplying them:

1/30 * 1/29 = <em>1/870</em>

All done!

Write a variable expression for the amount of your budget after b books

wel

Because if let's say you have 400$ for the year, and each book cost 10$. So it would be written as 400-10b since the quantity of books must be multiplied times their cost to calculate whether you are within or outside the budget.
