Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common difference be c. Then a(n) = -3 + c(n-1). Since a(15) = 53, a(15) = -3 + (15-1)c = 53. Therefore, -3 + 14c = 53, or 14c = 56; c = 4.

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new

mestny [16]

Answer:

23x = -115

Step-by-step explanation:

In the substitution method, you must solve for 1 variable in 1 equation to replace it in the other equation. For the system:

2x - 7y = 4

3x + y = -17

Solving for y in the second equation:

y = -17 - 3x

Replacing y in the first equation:

2x - 7(-17 - 3x) = 4

2x + 119 + 21x = 4

23x = -115

This is the new equation after use the substitution method.

<h3>Answer: shaded region has area 107 square feet</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

A = area of larger rectangle

A = length*width = 9*15 = 135 square feet

B = area of smaller rectangle

B = length*width = 7*4 = 28 square feet

C = area of shaded region

C = difference in areas of A and B

C = A - B = 135 - 28 = 107 square feet
