Answer:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive terms must always be the same number, which is known as the common difference.
So we just need to take different pairs of consecutive terms and see if their difference is always the same:
1) The differences are:
32 - 35 = -3
29 - 32 = -3
26 - 29 = -3
So yes, this is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference is -3
2) The differences are:
-23 - (-3) = -20
-43 - (-23) = -20
-63 - (-43) = -20
This is an arithmetic sequence, and the common difference is -20
3) The differences are:
-64 -(-34) = -30
-94 -(-64) = -30
-124 -(-94) = -30
This is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference is -30
4) The differences are:
-40 -(-30) = -10
-50 - (-40) = -10
-60 - (-50) = -10
This is an arithmetic sequence and the common difference is -10
5) The differences are:
-9 - (-7) = -2
-11 - (-9) = -2
-13 - (-11) = -2
This is an arithmetic sequence, and the common difference is -2
6) The differences are:
14 - 9 = 5
19 - 14 = 5
24 - 19 = 5
This is an arithmetic sequence, and the common difference is 5.
Answer:
a=61
Step-by-step explanation:
3a-63=a+59
2a-63=59
2a=122
a=61
A distribute the 5 is the first step
