Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
K = s + 4
k + s = 26
s + 4 = 26
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
s = 22

Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Given that lines a and b are parallel, angles 1 and 5 are congruent because they are corresponding angles, and angles 1 and 4 are congruent because they are vertical angles
To find : by which property are angles 4 and 5 congruent
Solution :
We know that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.
Also, we know that if two things are equal to the same thing then they are equal to each other . In this case, we can say that if two angles are congruent to a third angle, then they are congruent to each other. As angles 4 and 5 are both congruent to angle 1, they are congruent to each other but angles 4 and 5 are alternate interior angles. So, if parallel lines have a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.
Answer:
n = 0, n =2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(n + 1) + 3(n - 1) = 2(n - 1)(n + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
n + 1 + 3n - 3 = 2(n² - 1), that is
4n - 2 = 2n² - 2 ( subtract 4n - 2 from both sides )
0 = 2n² - 4n ← factor out 2n from each term )
0 = 2n(n - 2)
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
2n = 0 ⇒ n = 0
n - 2 = 0 ⇒ n = 2
A: Deena subtracted 25, instead of adding it.
B: 9x - 25 = 88.
C: no idea
