Answer:
C. x(7y)
Pretty sure it's C if i'm wrong sorry ;;
The difference between -11 and -18 is -7
the difference between -18 and -25 is <span>-7
</span>the difference between -25 and -32 is <span>-7
</span>
therefore we can say that the difference between all of the terms will be -7.
the first term is -11 -> call this a
the difference is -7 -> call this d
the number of terms is 14 -> call this <span>n
</span>
use the equation (sum of)

=

(2a + (n-1)d)
(sum of)

=

(2 x -11 + (14-1)-7)
= -7(-22 + (13 x -7))
= -7(-22 + -91)
= -7(-111)
= 777
Divide 291 by 7. If you get a whole number, its a factor. If it comes out as a decimal or fraction, its not a factor.
It works well to put both equations in the same form. Here, we use "general form". Any common factors are removed from the numbers. The leading coefficient is positive.
The equations are inconsistent if the x and y coefficients have the same ratio but the constants are different. They are consistent otherwise.
1. 8x +y +4 = 0
.. 8x +y +4 = 0
"consistent" . . . . . and also "dependent"
2. 7x +2y +6 = 0
.. 7x +2y +1 = 0
"inconsistent"
3. x +y +3 = 0
.. x +y +3 = 0
"consistent" . . . . . and also "dependent"
4. x -2y -7 = 0
.. x +3y -7 = 0
"consistent" . . . . . (x, y) = (7, 0)
5. 2x -y +5 = 0
.. 2x -y -2 = 0
"inconsistent"
