A=3
B=4
C=5
Substitute 3 in for 'a' in the equation, and 5 in for 'c' in the equation to get 17.
Answer:
-5y + 6 = -9
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 6 from both sides
-5y + 6 - 6 = -9 - 6
simplify
-5y = -15
divide both sides by -5
(-5y)/5 = (-15)/5
simplify
y = 3
Answer
b) A(10) = 15 + 9(-2)
<u>Explanation</u>
15, 13, 11, 9, ... This is an arithmetic sequence.
The common difference = 13 - 15 = -2
or = 9 - 11 = -2
The first term of the sequence = 15.
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
∴ T₁₀ = 15 + (10 - 1)(-2)
= 15 + (9 × -2) ⇒ This is the expression you need.
= 15 + -18
= -3
