Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
Answer:
-11

Explanation:
Number the sides of the decagon: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, from top (currently red) clockwise.
- The side number one can be colored of five different colors (red, orange, blue, green, or yellow): 5
- The side number two can be colored with four different colors: 4
- The side number three can be colored with three different colors: 3
- The side number four can be colored with two different colors: 2
- The side number five can be colored with the only color left: 1
- Each of the sides six through ten can be colored with one color, the same as its opposite side: 1
Thus, by the multiplication or fundamental principle of counting, the number of different ways to color the decagon will be:
- 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 ×1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 120.
Notice that numbering the sides starting from other than the top side is a rotation of the decagon, which would lead to identical coloring decagons, not adding a new way to the number of ways to color the sides of the figure.
Answer:
I don't know if your question is multiple choice or not but here's a close estimate to what it should be.
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Obviously at a drop of 0 height there would be 0 rebound height so your y-intercept has to be 0.
As for the slope of the line I used the point at 2.5 and 3.
Here are the coordinates (2.5, 1.25) and (3, 1.625)
Find the average rate of change as you see below
1.625 - 1.25 = .375
3 - 2.5 = .5
.375 / .5 = .75 or 3x/4
The points aren't exactly on the line and the graph isn't 100% linear so obviously the equation is not 100% precise. The slope should very close to 0.75 or 3/4.
