This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.
We know a=1 and d=7 so:
a(n)=1+7(n-1)
a(n)=1+7n-7
a(n)=7n-6
The above is the "rule" for the nth term.
You can estimate 3.9 times 5.3 to 4 times 5 which is 20
so if the answer is around 20, you know that you will have exactly 2 digits before the decimal place
The correct answer is A. <span>If I drink juice, then it is breakfast time.
If it is breakfast time, then I drink juice.
This answer is an if-and-only-if conditional statement.
The other options are not.</span>
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
I can't see the question it's blurry
