In this equation, is x positive, negative, or zero? x + 5 = -8

2 answers:

6 0

Now, to answer this question, we must get x on its own at either side. x + 5 is on the left hand side, so to get X in its own, we must get rid of the 5. To eliminate the 5 but keep the equation balanced, we can take 5 from both sides of the equation. So x+5-5 = -8-5. This goes to X = -13, because 5-5 is 0 and -8-5 is -13.

Therefore, x is negative.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>

a4 = 13
a2 = 3
d = ?

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Formula for the terms of AP:</u>

a4 = a + 3d
a2 = a + d

<u>The difference of terms:</u>

a + 3d - (a - d) = 13 - 3
2d = 10
d = 5
