If x is the number of students on the field trip:
60 + 15x + 95 + 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
The first expression is :

Numerator = -11×2 = -22
Denominator = 3
So, answer will be :
(negative)
The second expression is:

Numerator = -11×-2 = 22
Denominator = 3
So, the answer will be :
(positive)
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer: Choice A
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
===============================================
The formula is
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
where
Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)
n = number of terms
a1 = first term
an = nth term
In this case,
n = 9
a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
So,
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 2 from both sides.
4x-2 = 4
Add 2 to both sides.
4x = 6
x = 1.5
Two solutions exist,
2(x - 1) = 8
2x - 2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
&
2(x + 1) = 8
2x + 2 = 8
2x = 6
x = 3
the two solutions are 5 and 3
