Answer:

The common difference is -5/4

T(n) = T(0)  - 5n/4,

where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4

Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term

T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

T(n) = T(0) + n*d

Let

S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240

S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220

S2 - S1

= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)

= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d

= 4(4)d

= 16d

Since S2=220,  S1 = 240

220-240 = 16d

d = -20/16 = -5/4

Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.

PLEASE HELP!
Orlov [11]
We have that
<span>If (5x-4+13x=5) -------------->  then x=1/2
Step 1
</span>let's substitute the value of x = (1/2) in the expression [5x-4+13x] and verify its result
5*(1/2)-4+13*(1/2)
(5/2)-4+(13/2)
(5-4*2+13)/2----------> (5-8+13)/2=10/2=5
then 
5=5-----------> <span>the value of x = (1/2) satisfies equality</span>
