Answer:
7th measurement = -26
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is 16, 9, 2, –5, ...,
First term( a)= 16
Second term=9
Common difference (d) = 9-16
Common difference= -7
The sequence is a arithmetic progression
For AP's ,the terms formula is
Term(n) = a + (n-1)d
Where n represent the term to be found
In this case,we Are looking for the 7th term , so n= 7
Term(7) = 16+ (7-1)-7
Term(7)= 16 +6(-7).
Term (7) = 16-42
Term(7) = -26
7th term =-26
Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
(2,6) and (7,6)
Since the y coordinates are the same, we only need to look at the x coordinates
The distance between 2 and 7 is
7-2 =5
5 units
The solution to the system of equations are (2, 5).
Solution:
The system of equations are
x + y = 7 – – – – (1)
2x – y = –1 – – – – (2)
To find x from equation (1):
x + y = 7
Subtract y from both sides of the equation, we get
⇒ x + y – y = 7 – y
⇒ x = 7 – y – – – (3)
Substitute (3) in (2) we get,
2(7 – y) – y = –1
14 – 2y – y = –1
14 – 3y = –1
Subtract 14 from both sides,
–3y = –15
Divide by –5 on both sides,
y = 5
Substitute y = 5 in equation (3)
x = 7 – 5
x = 2
The solution to the system of equations are (2, 5).
