Answer:
No solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-3(-x + 4) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute: 3x - 12 = 5 + 3x + 3
- Combine like terms: 3x - 12 = 3x + 8
- Subtract 3x on both sides: -12 ≠ 8
Here, we see that <em>x</em> has to equal no solution. No value of <em>x</em> would make the equation true.
39 times 3 and 15 times 3 then 27 times 2 then add together to get 216
Assuming the sequence goes on like this 11,-33,99,-297,891,...,
its general formula is

So, the 9th term is
