Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2y + 1 = y-5
-2 - y = -5 - 1
-3y = -6
y = -6 ÷ -3
y = 2
Answer: 207/4 or -51.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
19
----- = x
40-3a
Step-by-step explanation:
3(ax + 9) = -4 (-2 - 10x)
Distribute
3ax +27 = 8+40x
Subtract 3ax from each side
3ax-3ax +27 = 8+40x-3ax
27 = = 8+40x-3ax
Subtract 8 from each side
27-8 = 8-8+40x-3ax
19 = 40x-3ax
Factor an x on the right side
19 = x(40-3a)
Divide each side by 40-3a
19/(40-3a) = x(40-3a)/(40-3a)
19
----- = x
40-3a
Subtract the two over to cancel it out
3x=36
then divide by 3 to get an answer of
x=12
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference.
143 - 130 = 13
156 - 143 = 13
169 - 156 = 13
The common difference is 13.
a1 = 130
a2 = 130 + 13
a3 = 130 + 2 * 13
a4 = 130 + 3 * 13
...
an = 130 + (n - 1) * 13
an = 130 + 13(n - 1)
an = 130 + 13n - 13
an = 117 + 13n
an = 13n + 117
