The sum of arithmetic series is given by:
Sn=n/2(a1+an)
where:
n=number of terms
a1=first term
an=nth term
but
n=18, an=275, Sn=4185
plugging the values in the formula we get:
4185=18/2(a1+275)
simplifying this we get:
4185=9(a1+275)
dividing through by 9 we get:
465=a1+275
thus
a1=465-275
a1=190
Answer: first number is 190
Answer:
To determine the number of real number solutions of as system of equations in which one equation is linear and the other is quadratic
1) Given that there are two variables, x and y as an example, we make y the subject of the equation of the linear equation and substitute the the expression for y in x into the quadratic equation
We simplify and check the number of real roots with the quadratic formula, 
for quadratic equations the form 0 = a·x² - b·x + c
Where b² > 4·a·c there are two possible solutions and when b² = 4·a·c equation there is only one solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find each probability separately and then multiply the two together
Probability for even number is 3/6 or 1/2 because their are 3 even numbers out of 6 numbers
Probability to get a black chip is 1 black chip out of 3 totals so 1/3
Multiply 1/3 by 1/2
Answer 1/6
That is around 13 or 14 cents. The specific answer is 13.65853659 cents, but you can either round up to 14 or round down to 13 (rounding up to 14 is the correct way to do it.)
First you divide 1.12 by 8.2 to get the unit rate because It takes $1.12 to buy 8.2 ounces. 1.12/8.2=13.65853659
