Substract 6 to both sides and you get 36 =-2d then you use the multiplicative inverse and d=-18.
The answer is 77 since you would use PEMDAS and multiply 12 * 4 first to receive 48 which then adding a 29 to the 48 resulting in 77
Answer:
b. (2, 5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying the offered choices seems the fastest way to find the answer. The second choice works in all equations, hence is the solution.
Another strategy you can use is to see if the equations are dependent. Here, it looks like adding twice the third equation to the other two eliminates at least the x- and y-variables. If that eliminates z, then there are infinite solutions. Instead, it gives the equation ...
7z = 21
z = 3 . . . . . divide by 7
This answer is consistent with choice B, confirming that answer and eliminating the other choices.
From the 8th to the 13th there are five numbers, and the difference between the 8th and the 13th is 20-12.5=7.5, so the difference between two neighboring number is 7.5÷5=1.5
from the 13th and the 25th there are 12 numbers, so the total difference is 12*1.5=18
so the 25th term is 20+18=38
