Given parameters:
First term of the sequence = x
Second term = x + 2
Third term = x + 4
Sum of the first three terms = 72
Unknown:
First term of the sequence = ?
Solution:
The sum of the first three terms is unknown;
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72
Solve for x;
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 6
3x = 66
x = 
= 22
The first term of the sequence is 22
84 kilometers ... 1 hour
7 kilometers ... x hours = ?
If you would like to know how long does the pigeon take to fly 7 kilometers, you can calculate this using the following steps:
84 * x = 1 * 7
84 * x = 7 /84
x = 7/84
x = 1/12 hour
Result: A pigeon can fly 7 kilometers in 1/12 hour.
Answer:
95%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we can apply a formula that tells us that:
# (AUB) = #A + #B - #AnB
Where A would be the ones who enjoy swimming and B would be the ones who enjoy running. AnB is the intersection of both sets, that is, those who enjoy doing both things, these values we have, if we replace them we have left:
#(AUB) = 80% + 70% - 55%
#(AUB) = 95%
Which means that 95% of people enjoy either swimming or running
