4 shelves of consecutive even numbers
x , x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

5 ft = 60 inches

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 60....combine like terms
4x + 12 = 60
4x = 60 - 12
4x = 48
x = 48/4
x = 12 <==== one 12 inches

x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 <== one is 14 inches
x + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 <== one is 16 inches
x + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 <== one is 18 inches

Why equals 3/4 X -12 and why equals negative 4X - 31
Helga [31]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-4, -15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want the solution to ...

  y = 3/4x -12

  y = -4x -31

Equating the two expressions for y gives ...

  3/4x -12 = -4x -31

  3/4x = -4x -19 . . . . . add 12

  3x = -16x -76 . . . . . multiply by 4

  19x = -76 . . . . . . . . . add 16x

  x = -76/19 = -4 . . . . divide by 19

  y = (3/4)(-4) -12 = -15 . . . . use the first equation to find y

The solution to this system of equations is ...

  (x, y) = (-4, -15)

What is the sum of the arithmetic sequence 3, 9, 15…, If there are 34 terms?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

first we find the common difference.....do this by subtracting the first term from the second term. (9 - 3 = 6)...so basically, ur adding 6 to every number to find the next number.

we will be using 2 formulas....first, we need to find the 34th term (because we need this term for the sum formula)

an = a1 + (n-1) * d

n = the term we want to find = 34

a1 = first term = 3

d = common difference = 6

now we sub

a34 = 3 + (34-1) * 6

a34 = 3 + (33 * 6)

a34 = 3 + 198

a34 = 201

now we use the sum formula

Sn = (n (a1 + an)) / 2

S34 = (34(3 + 201))/2

s34 = (34(204)) / 2

s34 = 6936/2

s34 = 3468 <=== the sum of the first 34 terms:
