Problem Solving
Linear equations are often used to solve practical problems that have an unknown quantity. We use a suitable pronumeral to represent the unknown quantity, translate the information given in the problem into an equation, and then solve the equation using the skills acquired earlier in this chapter.
Example 11
If a number is increased by 8, the result is 25. Find the number.
Solution:
Let x be the number. Increasing x by 8 gives x + 8, which we are told is 25. Therefore, x + 8 = 25. Subtract 8 from both sides to find x = 17. So, the number is 17.

Answer:
In mathematics, in the area of complex analysis, the general difference polynomials are a polynomial sequence, a certain subclass of the Sheffer polynomials, which include the Newton polynomials, Solberg's polynomials, and the Stirling interpolation polynomials as special cases.
Step-by-step explanation:

Common difference of an Arithmetic progression can be found out by subtracting the preceding term from that given term.
i.e
therefore, the common difference of the above Arithmetic progression is -4 .
If you're trying to solve for y,
5y-4=7
bring over the -4
5y=11
5y/5 = y
11/5 = 2.2
y= 2.2
The answer is -3 for the problem
