Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
1.001 is the smallest :)))
Answer:
-7.5 - (8.5 + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We just add together the values of how much it dropped at different parts of the day, and subtract them from what we started with. The parenthesis are important cause we want to know what the total temperature drop for the day was before we subtract it to get the actual temperature we end up with.
The multiplicative inverse of 1 half would be <u>2</u>, or 2 over 1 (2/1).
Hope this helps. :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
chris is 11 5/6 years old
marian is 1 1/3 years younger...
(11 - 1) = 10 : (5/6 - 1/3 = 5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2)...so marian is 10 1/2
jane is 1 1/4 years younger then marian...
10 1/2 - 1 1/4...
(10 - 1) = 9 : (1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4)....so Jane is 9 1/4 years <==
