Answer:

d. - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx

We know y =3 when x = -9

3 = k(-9)

Divide by -9

3/-9 = -9k/-9

-1/3 = k

The equation is then

y = -1/3 x

We know y = 5

5 = -1/3 x

Multiply each side by -3

-3*5 = -3*-1/3x

-15 = x

What is the fiftieth term in the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 …?
Komok [63]

The 15th term in the given A.P. sequence is a₁₅ = 33.

According to the statement

we have given that the A.P. Series with the a = 5 and the d is 2.

And we have to find the 15th term of the sequence.

So, for this purpose we know that the

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

And the formula is a

an = a + (n-1)d

After substitute the values in it the equation become

an = 5 + (15-1)2

a₁₅ = 5 + 28

Now the 15th term is a₁₅ = 33.

So, The 15th term in the given A.P. sequence is a₁₅ = 33.

Subtraction of whole numbers is commutative. True or False
strojnjashka [21]
It is False.

If a property is commutative in subtraction it means:  x - y    is the same as y - x.

For example    5 - 3 = 2,  but 3 - 5 = -2  so subtraction is not commutative.

But 5 + 3 = 8   ,   is the same as 3 + 5 = 8.

Addition is Commutative, but Subtraction is not commutative.

So the statement that subtraction of whole numbers is commutative is False.
