Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Here first open the inner parentheses and use the distributive property,

If 7x+3=24, that means x would be 3 so if you take 5-4x then that would be -7.
This looks like a simple arithmetic series. Each term is 7 greater than the previous term.
Therefore, the Nth term is 17 + 7N.
For example, the first term is 17 + 7*1 = 17 + 7 = 24.
The second term is 17 + 7*2 = 17 + 14 = 31
etc...
And the 500th term is 17 + 7 * 500 = 17 + 3500 = 3517
A direct variation is a proportional equation. Such as:
For every 3 cookies, linda gets 1 glass of milk. The equation for this is y=3x where y is the glasses and x is the cookies. this is a direct variation. It also has a linear line. Linear means straight. Rate of change and slope are the exact same thing. They are the value of 'm' in y=mx+b
