Answer:

ok so this problem you are basically just rearranging it. you're going to want y by itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's start with the original equation: 5-y=1/3x +12

so first you have to move the five over, so you subtract 5 from both sides. -y=1/3x+12-5

then you subtract the 5 from the twelve since they're like terms: -y=1/3x+7

and finally you have to move the negative over. when you move the negative think of it like dividing negative one from both sides, everything on the other side has to get the negative.

so we're left with y=-1/3x-7

I hope this helps!

The first 5 terms of a sequence are shown below:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the formula for the nth term ,

First , find the common difference or common ratio.

Common difference =

$T_2-T_1 \\ - 2 - 3 \\ = - 5$

Common ratio =

$T_2/T_1 \\ \frac{ - 2}{3}$

The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :

$T_3- T_2 = - 7 - ( - 2) \\ = - 7 + 2 = - 5$

this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

T_n =a(n-1)d

Where n = no of terms

a= first term

d= common difference

Obtuse angles are over 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. So minimum y can be is 10: (5 x 10) + 45 = 95 degrees (which is more than 90). Maximum for y is 26: (5 x 26) + 45 = 175 (which is less than 180 degrees)
