Answer:

  • x = -1
  • y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference (d) can be found using the first and 4th terms:

  a1 = 3

  a4 = a1 +d(4 -1)

  -9 = 3 +3d . . . . . simplify

  -3 = 1 + d . . . . . . divide by 3

  -4 = d . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

Then ...

  x = a1 + d = 3 -4 = -1

  y = x + d = -1 -4 = -5

The values of x and y are -1 and -5, respectively.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The phrasing of the question is weird, but the mass should not change. The scale may read higher for a moment, but once the mass is brought up to the same velocity of the elevator, it should settle back to 100.
