4 - 3 - 6x³ - 2y³ + 3x³ + 5 + 2y³
4 - 3 + 5 - 6x³ + 3x³ - 2y³ + 2y³
6 - 9x³
Follow PEMDAS
multiplication is first (in this case) and then addition
2 x 8 = 16
16 + 2 = 18
18 is your answer
hope this helps
The third one: No, yes, no
= 1455
generate a few terms of the sequence using
= 3n + 2
= ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5
= (3 × 2) + 2 = 8
= (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11
= (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14
= ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17
the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17
these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence
sum to n terms is calculated using
=
[ 2a + (n-1)d]
where a is the first term and d the common difference
d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and
= 5
=
[( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]
= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455
