1. 1. tom ate four more pieces of fruit than janet. sylvia ate twice as many pieces of fruit as tom. if x represents the number of pieces of fruit that janet ate, write an expression to represent the amount of fruit that sylvia ate.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

the eight graders whould be the answer

step-by-step explanation: could you give me 5 stars

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
