So
a be first term and d be common difference
- a+a+2d+a+4d+a+6d+a+9d=17
- 5a+21d=17--(1)
And
- a+d+a+3d+a+5d+a+7d+a+9d=15
- 5a+25d=15--(2)
Eq(1)-Eq(2)
Put in second one
- 5a+25d=15
- a+5d=3
- a+5/2=15
- a=15-5/2
- a=25/2
I don’t know if this is what you’re asking but 14.1-191 = -176.9
Answer: x = 1 + 0.5c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:

Square both sides of the equation


(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0
x = 3 or 5
Now, you must always check your results because a result may not satisfy the original equation.
If x = 3, then
and 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0
So 3 satisfies the original.
If x = 5, then
, but 3 - x = 3 - 5 = -2. Therefore, 5 does NOT satisfy the original equation.
That means that x = 3 is the solution to the equation.
