Answer:
I got -2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
as a fraction it would be 74 over 25 in one way there might be other ways
First, subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to get 8y = -2x - 32. Then, divide the equation by 8, to get y = -x/4 - 4. Your y-intercept will be -4, and it's slope will be -1/4.
