Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is
d = -
=
-
Substitute in values and solve for k, that is
5k - 1 - 2k = 6k + 2 - (5k - 1)
3k - 1 = 6k + 2 - 5k + 1
3k - 1 = k + 3 ( subtract k from both sides )
2k - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )
2k = 4 ⇒ k = 2
--------------------------------------------------------
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
=
+ (n - 1)d
= 2k = 2 × 2 = 4 and
d = 5k - 1 - 2k = 3k - 1 = (3 × 2) - 1 = 5
Hence
= 4 + (7 × 5) = 4 + 35 = 39
Answer:
x > -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities like these are solved the same way equations are solved, except when multiplying both sides you flip the less than/greater than sign:
3x + 7 > -x -9
3x + 7 - 7 > -x -9 -7 Subtract 7 from both sides
3x > -x -16
3x + x > -x -16 + x add x to both sides
4x > -16
>
divide both sides by 4
x > -4
In this case the inequality sign did not have to be flipped since we never multiply both sides by a negative number.
