So

a be first term and d be common difference

  • a+a+2d+a+4d+a+6d+a+9d=17
  • 5a+21d=17--(1)

And

  • a+d+a+3d+a+5d+a+7d+a+9d=15
  • 5a+25d=15--(2)

Eq(1)-Eq(2)

  • -4d=-2
  • d=1/2

Put in second one

  • 5a+25d=15
  • a+5d=3
  • a+5/2=15
  • a=15-5/2
  • a=25/2

Which expression is equivalent to 7c +4 + 10c – 6?<br> 15<br> 15c<br> 17c - 2
slega [8]

Answer:

17c - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, add the normal numbers together:

7c + 4 + 10c - 6

4 - 6 = -2

7c + 10c - 2

Now, the two numbers with a c value can be added together:

7c + 10c = 17c

This returns the answer:

17c - 2

Hope this helps!
