8 times of the eight term of an arithmetic progression is equal to 12 times of the twelfth term. find its first term if the common difference is -2 .​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the 8th term as x and the 12th term as y.

This would mean that 8x=12y

Because the common difference between terms is -2 and term 8 and term 12 are 4 terms apart, this means that the 12th term is 8 less than the 8th term, so x-8=y

Now we can use this to substitute y with x in the first equation. This would give us:

8x=12(x-8)

Which we can expand and solve:

8x=12x-96

-4x=-96

Therefore x=24

This means the 8th term is 24 and the 12th term is 16 (24-8).

To test if this is correct we can do:

8x24=12x16

Which indeed are equal, both sides multiply to 192.

Now that we have our 8th term, we can find the 1st term, which is 7 terms away, therefore we just add 14 to the 8th term 24. (7x2=14)

24+14=38.

The first term is 38.

Hope this helped!

- 11x + 32.5 < 82

Answers

Answer:

x>-4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 11x + 32.5 < 82

Subtract 32.5 from each side

- 11x + 32.5-32.5 < 82-32.5

- 11x  < 49.5

Divide each side by -11. remembering to flip the inequality since we are dividing by a negative

-11x/-11 > 49.5/-11

x>-4.5

Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{ width \: of \: a \: rectangle = 5.5 \: inches}}}[/tex]

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{length \: of \: a \: rectangle =8.5 \ \: \: inches}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of a rectangle be 'w'

Length of a rectangle = w + 3

Perimeter of a rectangle = 28 inches

To find : dimensions of the rectangle ( length and width )

Finding the width of a rectangle ( w )

[tex] \boxed{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle = 2(l + w)}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{28 = 2(w + 3 + w)}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{28 = 2(2w + 3)}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{28 = 4w + 6}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{4w + 6 = 28}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{4w = 28 - 6}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{4w = 22}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{4w}{4} = \frac{22}{4} }}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{w = 5.5 \: inches}}[/tex]

Width of a rectangle = 5.5 inches

Now, replacing / substituting the value of w in order to find the length of a rectangle

[tex] \sf{ length = 3 + w}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{length = 3 + 5.5}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{length = 8.5 \: \: inches}}[/tex]

Length of a rectangle = 8.5 inches

Brand X copier advertises that its copiers run 24% longer between service calls than its competitor. If Brand X copiers run 59,800 copies between services, how many copies would the competitor run?

Answers

Answer:

The competitor will run 48,225.81 copies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brand x copier run 59,800 copies between services

Brand X copiers run 24% longer between service calls than its competitor.

Let x = copies run by the competitor between services

Number of copies the competitor will run is

24% of x + x = 59,800

0.24x + x = 59,800

1.24x = 59,800

x= 59,800 / 1.24

x = 48,225.81

Therefore, the competitor will run 48,225.81 copies.

Miranda wants to join Kick Start Gym and they have two plans she can choose from. Plan A will cost $12 per month plus a $130 joining fee. Plan B does not have a joining fee, but will cost $25 per month. Write and solve an equation to find the number of months for which the cost of each plan is equal.

Answers

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of any plan = Joining fee + (Per month fee ) × (number of months )

Let x be the number of months for which the cost of each plan is equal.

Cost of plan A =  130 + 12 x

Cost of plan B = 0+ 25x = 25x

According to the question,

[tex]25x = 130+12x\\\\\Rightarrow 25x-12x=130\\\\\Rightarrow\ 13x=130\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{130}{13}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10[/tex]

Hence, the number of months for which the cost of each plan is equal is 10.

how do you convert a percent to a fraction?

Answers

Answer:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this:  [tex]\frac{percent}{100}[/tex]

Step 2: If the percent is not a whole number, then multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there is one number after the decimal, then use 10, if there are two then use 100, etc.)

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:

Step 1: Write down:

[tex]\frac{11}{100}[/tex]

Step 2: The percent is a whole number, go straight to step 3.

Step 3: The fraction cannot be simplified further.

Answer:

To convert the percent into a fraction, divide it by 100 and remove the % symbol. Then, multiply the fraction to its lowest term.

For example:

[tex] \sf{12 \: \% \: = \frac{12}{100} = \frac{3}{25} } \: [/tex]

[tex] \sf{65\% \: = \frac{65}{100} = \frac{13}{20} }[/tex]

[tex] \underline{ \sf{some \: facts \: about \: percentage}}[/tex]

[tex] \star[/tex] Percentage are fractions whose denominators are 100

[tex] \star[/tex] A fraction can be expressed as a percentage by converting it into an equivalent fraction with 100 as a denominator.

[tex] \star [/tex] We can convert a fraction to a percent by multiplying it by 100 and the % symbol.

[tex] \star[/tex] A fraction with denominator 100 can be written as a percentage by writing the numerator with the % symbol.

[tex] \star[/tex] To convert a percentage to a decimal , divide it with 100 i.e move the decimal the places to the left.

[tex] \star[/tex] To convert a percentage to a fraction , divide it by 100 and reduce it to the lowest term.
