The common difference
(-73 - -40)/(28 - 17) = -3
Term a1: -40 - (-3*(17-1)) = 8
Term a2: 8+-3=5
Term a3: 2
Term a4: -1
Term a5: -4

Select the graph for the solution of the open sentence. Click until the correct graph appears. 5|x| + 3 < 18

netineya [11]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

5|x| + 3 < 18

Subtract 3 from each side

5|x| + 3-3 < 18-3

5|x| < 15

Divide by 5

5|x| /5 < 15/5

|x| < 3

There are two solutions for an absolute value, one positive and one negative ( the negative flips the inequality)

x <3 and x > -3

monitta

Answer:

$46,053

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 29% into a decimal, which is 0.29.
Multiply $35,700 by 29% as a decimal (0.29), which is 10,353.
Since the keyword is more, we want to add $35,700 and 10,353 (29% of $35,700). The answer will be $46,053.

A bag contains purple marbles and red marbles, 34 in total. The number of purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of re

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

There are 26 purple marbles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to make an expression in terms of x where x represent red marbles. Given that the question says purple marbles is 2 more than 3 times the number of red marbles. So the expression is :

Let red marbles = x,

$purple = 2 + 3x$

$red = x$

Next, given that the total marbles in the bag is 34 so you have to add both marbles together and solve the value of x :

$2 + 3x + x = 34$

$4x = 32$

$x = 32 \div 4$

$x = 8$

Lastly, you have to substitute the value of x into the expression of purple marbles :

Let x = 8,

$purpe = 2 + 3(8)$

$purple = 26$
