SOLUTION
From the sequence give
–3, 1, 5, 9, . . .
The first term, a = -3
The common difference, d = 4 (gotten by adding 4 to the next term).
The number of terms required n = 6.
Formula for sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by
Substituting these values into the equation above we have
Hence, the answer is 42, option B
The value of the variable x is found to be x = 9.
<h3>What is termed as angle bisector?</h3>A bisected angle divides the two sides in equals.
JKM = LKM
As, both are equal.
Then, each of these angles are 1/2 the angle JKL.
1/2 JKL = MKL
1/2 ×( 92) = 5x + 1
Further simplifying;
46 = 5x+1
Subtract 1 from each side
46-1 = 5x
45 = 5x
Divide each side by 5
45/5 = 5x/5
x = 9
Thus, the value of the unknown variable is found to be x = 9 units.

The distributive property is your friend. It tells you ...
a(b + c) = ab + ac
It can also be used to simplify the product of binomials (or other polynomials).
(a +b)^2 = (a +b)(a +b) = a(a +b) + b(a +b) = a^2 +ab +ab +b^2
(a +b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2 . . . . . . . worth remembering
1. (x -10)^2 -x(x +80) = (x^2 -20x +100) +(-x^2 -80x)
= -100x +100 . . . . . . simplified form
For the purposes of calculation, it can be easier to factor out 100:
= 100 (1 -x)
Then for x = 0.97
= 100(1 -0.97) = 100(0.03) = 3
___
2. (2x +9)^2 -x(4x +31) = (4x^2 +36x +81) -4x^2 -31x = 5x +81
For x = 16.2, this is ...
5(16.2) +81 = 81 +81 = 162
