Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. First, combine like terms:

3x - x + 2 = 12

(3x - x) + 2 = 12

(2x) + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS =

& is your order of operation.

First, subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:

3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12

15 - 5 + 2 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True)

Determina si 2018 es un termino de la siguiente progresion aritmetica 17,46,75,104,133,....
Kitty [74]
2018 is the 70th term of the progression.

Explanation
We start out finding the common difference of the progression:
46-17 = 29

Now we write the explicit formula for the sequence.  It is of the form
a_n=a_1+d(n-1)&#10;\\&#10;a_n=17+29(n-1)

We set this equal to 2018 to see if the answer is a whole number.  If it is, it will be the term number that gives us 2018:

2018=17+29(n-1)

Using the distributive property,
2018=17+29*n-29*1
2018=17+29n-29

Combine like terms:
2018=29n-12

Add 12 to both sides:
2018+12=29n-12+12
2030=29n

Divide both sides by 29:
2030/29=29n/29
70=n

Since n=70, this means 2018 is the 70th term of the sequence.
