Answer:
The constant between two consecutive terms is called the common difference. The common difference is the number added to any one term of an arithmetic sequence that generates the subsequent term.
Reduce the number of terms in the expression by operating on like terms
for example
Simplify
x^2 - 3x + 4 + x^2 + 6x - 6
the like terms are the x^2 and x^2 , -3x and 6x and 4 and -6
so we have
x^2 + x^2 - 3x + 6x + 4 - 6
= 2x^2 + 3x - 2
This is the simplified form of the original expression
Answer:
(2, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = 19 → (1)
6x + 2y = 22 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term
- 6x - 9y = - 57 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 7y = - 35
- 7y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = 5
Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
2x + 3(5) = 19
2x + 15 = 19 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
solution is (2, 5 )
Answer:
x-2x = -3 and x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
y=x+5.... 1
y-2x=2.... 2
Substituting the first equation into the second we will have;
From 2;
y -2x = 2
x+5-2x = 2
x-2x +5 = 2
x-2x = 2-5
x-2x = -3
-x =-3
x =3
Hence the required equation is x-2x = -3 and x = 3
Answer:
- <u>They can catch up with the bus at 10:40 am.</u>
Explanation:
1. Set the time when Liana and her mother can leave (8:40 am) as t₀ = 0; thus the time of driving for them will be t.
2. The average speed at whic Liana's mother drive: 60 miles/hour
3. Thus, the distance they will have driven will be:
- distance = average speed × time = 60t
4. The time the bus left was 8:00 am, which is 40 minutes before Liana and her mom can leave.
Thus, the time wil have driven when Liana and her mom have driven t hours minutes will be: t + 40 min / 60 min/ hour = t + 2/3
5. The average speed of teh bus is 45 miles / hour
6. The distance the bus will have driven will be:
- distance = average speed × time = 45(t + 2/3)
7. When Liana and her mother catch up with the bus, the distances driven by both of them are equal:
Thus, Liana and her mom can catch up with the bus after 2 hours, since 8:40 am; this is, 10:40 am.
