The is Answer:

82

Explanation:

We observe that difference between first and second terms <span>=12−5=7</span>
Similarly difference between second and third terms <span>=19−12=7</span>

It shows that the given sequence of numbers is an arithmetic progression with common difference equal to 7.

We know that <span>nth</span> term of an AP whose first term is <span>a1</span> and whose common difference is d is given by 
<span><span>an</span>=<span>a1</span>+<span>(n–1)</span>d</span>

To find the <span>12th</span> term, insert given values in the general expression
<span><span>a12</span>=5+<span>(12–1)</span>7</span>
<span><span>a12</span>=5+<span>(11)</span>7=5+77=<span>82</span></span>

The surface area of an oil spill gets 105% larger every day, represented by the function s(x) = (1.05)x − 1. On the first day, i
ioda
The given scenario above is like a geometric sequence with r or common ratio being 1.05 and the first term being 31 square meters. The nth term of the sequence is calculated through the equation,
                        A15 = (A1)(r)^(n - 1)
Substituting,
                        A15 = (31)(1.05)^(15 - 1) = 61.3778 square meter
Therefore, the area covered by the spill after the 15th day is approximately 61.4 square meters.

sattari [20]

Answer:

6x + 3.25y = 42.50

x + y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the amount of drinks, and y represents the amount of candies that are bought. The first equation is used to figure out the amount of candies and drinks needed to be bought to add up to 42.50, and the second equation is used to make sure that the quantity of drinks and candies add up to 8.

joanne cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The selling price of each is ​$660. The first is marked down by ​40%.
Alexxx [7]

Answer: The first machine would cost $420

and the second machine would cost $432

you should buy the first machine

Step-by-step explanation:If you get a 30% discount, then you are paying 70% of the selling price.

Machine 1:  600(.70) = 420

Machine 2:  A 10% discount means you pay 90%

600(.90) = 540   But now you get a 20% discount on that amount, which means you would pay 80%

So, 540(.80) = 432
