If arithmetic, then there is a common difference
if geometric, then there is a common ratio
to find the common ratio or difference
if you subtract successive terms from each other, they should have the same result if it is aritmetic
if you divide successive terms by each other, they should have the same result if it is geometric
2,3 and 5
3-2=1
5-3=2
2≠1
not aritmetic
3/2=1.5
5/3=1.66666
1.5≠1.6666
not geometric
she is wrong
Factorize both the numerator and denominator then equate to zero ...you'll get X
The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
I'll try to understand this but I don't really get it because I'm in middle school
