Answer:
16 - 2 = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines mean absolute value and the absolute value of -16 is and of -2 is 2
First term: a1 = 151
common difference: d = -14 (we decrease by 14 each time, eg, 151-14 = 137)
nth term of this arithmetic sequence is...
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 151+(-14)(n-1)
an = 151-14n+14
an = -14n+165
This will be used in the formula below
Sn = n*(a1+an)/2
<span>Sn = n*(151+(-14n+165))/2
</span><span>S26 = 26*(151+(-14*26+165))/2 ... replace every n with 26
</span>S26 = -624
The final answer here is choice C) -624

Answer: -51 my friend
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor using the reverse of the distributive property, find what common factor the numbers have and what common factor the variables have.
10.
-8x - 16
8 is a factor of both -8 and 16.
The first term has x, but the second term does not, so there is no common variable. The only common factor is 8, or -8.
Factor out a -8:
-8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)
To see if the factorization is correct, multiply the answer using the distributive property. If you get the original expression, then the factorization is correct.
11.
w^2 - 4w
The first term only has a factor of 1. The second term has a 4. There is no common factor between 1 and 4 except for 1, so there is no number you can factor out. The first term has w^2. The second term has w. Both terms have a common factor of w. We can factor out w from both terms.
w^2 - 4w = w(w - 4)
12.
4s + 10rs
4 and 10 have a common factor of 2.
s and rs have a common factor of s.
2 times s is 2s, so the common factor is 2s.
We now factor out 2s
4s + 10rs = 2s(2 + 5r)
