Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−66.17738=6.618(4.3x+1.1)−7.1(x−6.8)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−66.17738=6.618(4.3x+1.1)−7.1(x−6.8)

−66.17738=(6.618)(4.3x)+(6.618)(1.1)+(−7.1)(x)+(−7.1)(−6.8)(Distribute)

−66.17738=28.4574x+7.2798+−7.1x+48.28

−66.17738=(28.4574x+−7.1x)+(7.2798+48.28)(Combine Like Terms)

−66.17738=21.3574x+55.5598

Step 2: Flip the equation.

21.3574x+55.5598=−66.17738

Step 3: Subtract 55.5598 from both sides.

21.3574x+55.5598−55.5598=−66.17738−55.5598

21.3574x=−121.73718

Step 4: Divide both sides by 21.3574.

21.3574x

21.3574

−121.73718

21.3574

x=−5.7

4. Name the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. a1 = -35, d=4

eduard

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to write the equation for the sequence, then finding the first five terms will be easy. Follow the formatting:

$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$ and we are given enough info to fill in:

$a_n=-35+4(n-1)$ and

$a_n=-35+4n-4$ and

$a_n=-39+4n$ or in linear format:

$a_n=4n-39$ where n is the position of the number in the sequence. We already know the first term is -35.

The second term:

$a_2=4(2)-39$ so

$a_2=8-39$ and

$a_2=-31$

The third term:

$a_3=4(3)-39$ and

$a_3=12-39$ so

$a_3=-27$ and we could go on like this forever, but the nice thing about this is when we know the difference all we have to do is add it to each number to get to the next number.

That means that the fourth term will be -27 + 4 which is -23.

The fifth term then will be -23 + 4 which is -19. You can check yourself by filling in a 5 for n in the equation and solving:

$a_5=4(5)-39$ and

$a_5=20-39$ so

$a_5=-19$
