Did you mean :
f(x) = x² - 2x, find x = -3
f(-3) = (-3)² - 2(-3)
f(-3) = 9 + 6
f(-3) = 15
3x = 6y - 6
x = 2y - 2
4 ( 2y - 2 ) = 4 + 5 ( 2y - 2 )
8y - 8 = 4 + 10y - 10
2y = - 2
y = - 1
x = 2 ( - 1 ) - 2
x = - 4
i am a mathematics teacher. if anything to ask please pm me
Working backwards:
17-3=14
14/2=7
7 is the second term in the sequence. Continue backwards.
7-3=4
4/2=2
2 is the first term in the sequence, aka your answer.
Answer:
???????
Step-by-step explanation:
triangles add to 180 degrees
lets call the unknown angle y
82 + x + y = 180
we also know that y + (2x-20 ) = 180 because it is a straight line
lets solve this for y
y + (2x-20 ) = 180
subtract (2x-20) from each side
y = 180 - (2x-20)
y = 180 - 2x + 20
y = 200 -2x
substitute this in the triangle equation
82 + x + y = 180
82 + x + 200 -2x = 180
combine like terms
282 -x = 180
subtract 282 from each side
-x = -102
multiply by -1 on each side
x = 102
the exterior angle is 2x-20
exterior angle is 2(102) -20
exterior angle is 204-20
exterior angle is 184
This is impossible.
There is a mistake with this problem
The triangle is not a triangle. Angle y would be negative. y=-4
