Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator to find the difference:
2/3 = 4/6
Difference = 4/6-5/6 = -1/6
Sequence formula = an = a1 + d(n-1)
A1 is the first term 5/6
And d = -1/6
Sequence = 5/6 -1/6(n-1)
Simplify to get an =(-n +6)/6
Answer:
3a. 8t + 12c = 72
3b. t + c = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
number of tapes is t
number of Cds is c
so 8t + 12c = 72
and t + c = 7
so t = 7 - c
replace t = 7 - c in to the first equation
8(7 - c) + 12c = 72
56 - 8c + 12c = 72
4c = 72 - 56 = 16
c = 4
if c = 4, then t = 7 - c = 7 - 4 = 3
Answer:
22 hours (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
John's velocity = 55mph
Sally's velocity = 65mph
John's time taken = x
Sally's time taken = x - 4
since they must cover the same distance.
and, distance = vel × time
Sally's vel × time = John's vel × time
55x = 65(x-4)
55x = 65x - 220
-10x = -220
x = 22 hours.
Therefore, Sally catches up after 22 hours
