Literal equations, simply put, are equations containing two or more variables. Your goal is to solve for just one variable with respect to others. If you know how to solve regular equations, then I guarantee you that solving literal equations will be a breeze.

The "heart" of literal equation is to isolate or keep by itself a certain variable on one side of the equation (either left or right) and the rest on the opposite side.

What is the common difference, d, in the arithmetic sequence defined by the formula below? an=2n+1
marishachu [46]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

  • d = 2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

We are given that the arithmetic progression is defined by :

➝ 2n + 1

<em>Therefore, </em>

  • <u>For </u><u>first </u><u>term</u>

➙ n = 1

➝ 2 × 1 + 1

➝ 2 + 1

➝ 3

  • <u>For </u><u>second </u><u>term</u>

➙ n = 2

➝ 2 × 2 + 1

➝ 4 + 1

➝ 5

  • <u>Common </u><u>difference</u>

➙ 2nd term - 1st term

➝ 5 - 3

➝ 2

<h3><u>More </u><u>information</u><u>:</u></h3>

  • The difference between the successive term and the preceding term is the difference of an arithmetic progression. It is always same for the same arithmetic progression.

Twelve more than the product of a number and 5 is 52
antoniya [11.8K]
Let the unknown number be y.
We can list the equation out by the clues given.
5y + 12 = 52
Then solve this as simple algebra!
Shift +12 to the other side and be - 12
5y = 52-12
5y = 40
Shift x5 to the other side and be ÷5
y = 40 / 5
y = 8
Therfore the unknown number is 8.
