You don't know your terms I suppose.
Arithmetic: goes from one term to the next by adding or subtracting the same amount
Ex. 3,12,21,30,39 (d=9)
(d means difference, use this for arithmetic sequences)
Geometric: goes from one term to the next by multiplying or dividing by the same amount
Ex. 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 (r=2) (r means ratio, its just the number multiplied or divided each time)
Answer is c
[x-1]=5x+10
We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10
x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4
2) x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2
we have two possible solutions:
solution₁; x=-11/4
solution₂: x=-3/2
we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4 - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4 + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4 This solution don´t work.
2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2 - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2 + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.
Therefore:
Answer: x=-3/2.
Answer:
n=42
Step-by-step explanation:
n/6-2=5
n/6=7
n=42
The answer is 25
1/5 of 45 is 9, so you have 36 tickets
then half of 36 is 18
then you add the 7 tickets Danny won
18+7=25
