Yes it does the line will gradually increase
<span> <u>24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)</u>
Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)
24 + 3x = 3x + 18
Subtract 3x from each side: <em>24 = 18</em>
Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.
That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."</span>
From the recursive rule

it follows that


and so on. Notice how the subscript on a on the right side and the coefficient multiplied by 13 add up to n (n - 2 + 2 = n; n - 3 + 3 = n; and so on). If we continue the pattern, we'll end up with

so that the explicit rule for the n-th term in the sequence is

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<-- Given
<-- Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator as a factor of 1

<-- Use the Distributive Property and FOIL


<-- Rewrite
as 


<-- Rewrite in
form
Answer:
Associative Property
Step-by-step explanation:
- I would use the Associative Property because it states that you can add any numbers together no matter how they are separated or grouped (with parentheses).
- Knowing what we said in step 1, here are some other ways you can write the expression given (they are written in the steps below)
- 8 + 7 + 9
- (8 + 7) + 9
- (8 + 9) + 7
I hope this helps!
