Answer:
Coldslaw
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+7x=747
9x=747
x=83
83(2) = 166
83(7) = 581
Speed traveling west = x - 10 km /hr
275 / ( x-10) - 300 / x = 1/2
275 *2x - 300 (x-10)*2 = ( x-10) *x
550x - 600x +6000 = x^2 -10x
x^2 +40x - 6000 = 0
( x -60) ( x+100) = 0
x = 60
ANSWER East = 60 km/ hr West = 50 km /hr
CHECK
300 /60 = 5 hours
275 /50 = 5.5 hours
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the arithmetic sequence with a4=-1 and a6=-13
first: find the difference: an=a+(n-1)d
a4=-1
that means a1+d(4-1)=-1 ( since a4 given and need to find a1)
a1+3d=-1 first equation
a1+d(6-1)=-13 ( a6 is given)
a1+5d=-13 second equation
a1+3d=-1
a1+5d=-13 ( find a and d by subtraction)
a1+3d-a1-5d=-1-(-13)
2d=12
d=-12/2=-6 ( substitute d in the equation: a1+3d=-1)
difference =-6
a1=17
a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,....
the sequence is : 17,11,5,-1,-7,-13,.....
hope it works
