It took Brian 6 hours to drive to the sales conference. He took the same route on the way back home, but
thus time the trip took 7 hours. If Brian drove 9 mph faster on his way to the conference, how fast did he
drive on the way back home?

 54 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

d-the distance

s+9  -  the speed to the conference

d=6*(s+9)

s- is the speed on the way back home

d=7*s

so    6*(s+9)=7*s

       6s+54=7s

     -6s          -6s

       54= 7s-6s

       s=54  mph

there are 25 people coming to the party

step-by-step explanation:

the text says that there will be 22 children at this party, 1 teacher, and 2 parents. so if you add them all together (22+1+2) it will equal 25. (=25)

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
