Answer:
b=1/12 or just 12
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
1/3b +12=16
subtract 12 on both sides
1/3b=4
divided both sides with 1/3
b= 12 or 1/12
hope this helps.. :/
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
slopes in parallel are equal
<span>x = number of domestic stamps
y = number of foreign stamps
Malik
collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps.
=> x + y = 212
he has 34 more
domestic stamps than foreign stamps.
=> x = y + 34
which
equation represents the total number of stamps malik collected?
x + y = 212
which
equation represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic
stamps malik collected?
x - y = 34
which system of linear equations represents the
situation?
x + y = 212
x - y = 34

You can see how the difference between two consecutive terms is constantly increasing:
So, for the next terms we'll have to add +9, +11, +13 and so on.
Also, note that 
is obtained by adding the 2nd odd number to 
, 
is obtained by adding the 3rd odd number to , and so on.
So, the recursive formula is
For the explicit formula, recall that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared. Taking into account the fact that we're not starting from 1, we have
