There are two cases:
1.
2.
So the minimum temperature is -6, and the maximum is 18.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Solution</h3>
Common difference
<u>Difference of first two</u>
- d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b
<u>Difference of second two</u>
<u>Difference of last two</u>
<u>Now comparing d:</u>
- -2b = ab - (a - b)
- ab - a = - 3b
- a(1 - b) = 3b
- a = 3b/(1 - b)
and
- a/b - ab = -2b
- a(1/b - b) = -2b
- a = 2b²/(b² - 1)
<u>Eliminating a:</u>
- 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
- 2b/(b+1) = -3
- 2b = -3b - 3
- 5b = - 3
- b = -3/5
<u>Finding a:</u>
- a = 3b/(1 - b) =
- 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
- -9/5*5/8 =
- -9/8
<u>So the first term is:</u>
- a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40
<u>Common difference:</u>
<u>The 6th term:</u>
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
- -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
- -69/40 + 240/40 =
- 171/40 = 4 11/40
Answer:
Divide 9 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this equation is to add 23 to both sides.
9x - 23 (+23) = 49 (+23)
9x = 49 + 23
9x = 72
The second step is to isolate the x and divide 9 from both sides:
(9x)/9 = (72)/9
x = 72/9
x = 8

Answer:
A. -68
B. 37
C. -61
D. 171
Step-by-step explanation:
Rule for A, B, D: 2 negatives is the same as addition
(how I did C: add them together then add the negative)
