Answer:
5
Explanation:
Let the number equal x. Half the number is then
x
2
and the reciprocal of that is
2
x
The reciprocal of the number is
1
x
and half that is
1
2
x
then
2
x
+
1

x
=

Zero is not viable solution as its reciprocal is infinity. The answer is therefore
x
=
5
You should put 4 as x, -3 as y and a as slope to make an equation :

then you can find the slope and the correct equation of the line :
the slope is :

so the equation of the line will be

D is true
hope this helps
I think it is 17 but i am not 100% accurate
1+4 = 5
2+5 and add 5 = 12
3+6 and add 12 = 21
4+7+21=32
5+8+32=45
6+9+45=60
7+10+60=77
8+11+77=96
