X = Heather's age NOW
x - 2 = her age 2 years ago
x - 3 = her age 3 years ago

\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+\frac{1}{3}(x-3)=20

The Least Common Multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.  Multiply both sides by 6.

6\cdot\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+6\cdot\frac{1}{3}=6\cdot20 \\3(x-2)+2(x-3)=120 \\ 3x-6+2x-6=120 \\ 5x-12=120 \\ 5x=132 \\ x=\frac{132}{5}=26.4

1, 5, 17, 53, ... Use inductive reasoning to create a general rule for the sequence. A. Multiply by 3, then add 2. B. Multiply b
Basile [38]
The answer to this problem is the letter "A" which is "Multiply by 3, then add 2"
and can be written a N = 3n + 2
At first, we have initial value such n = 1
Then the second value is:
N = 3*1 + 2
N = 5
The third value is:
N = 3*5 + 2
N=17
The next values are:
N = 3*17 + 2
N= 53
The letter "A" is the inductive reasoning to the given sequence.

r=6.25

So Piper makes $6.25 an hour.
