Answer:
1. x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5=27
Subtract 5 from both sides
2x=22
Divide 2 from both sides
x=11
An = a1 + (n - 1)(d)
Where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
First find d, the common difference.
24, ____, 32
a3 a4 a5
Subtract 32-24 = 8
Subtract a5 - a3 = 2
Divide 8/2 = 4
d = 4
Use d and one of the values they give us to find a1.
a3 = 24
24 = a1 + (3 - 1)(4)
24 = a1 + 2(4)
24 = a1 + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides
16 = a1
an = 16 + (n - 1)(4)
Can also be written
an = 16 + 4n - 4
an = 4n + 12
Answer:
y = -5/4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation they give you is in slope intercept form. y=mx+b. The m is the slope (-5/4). Since they want a parallel line you keep the same slope for point slope form. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). the y1 and x1 are where you plug in the coordinates they give you.
y - 1 = -5/4x (x + 4)
y - 1 = -5/4x - 5
y = -5/4x - 4
Lets take a look at the options first.
option 1 and option 4 are not possible as (8x) (8x) would give us 64x^2, which is not what we want.
we’re left with option 2 & 3. when expanded, option 2 will look like :
16x^2 - 40x - 10x + 25
= 16x^2 - 50x + 25
however, we do not want the 50x. so the answer is option 3, (4x-5) (4x+5)
if you don’t want to find the answer using expanding, there is also another method of expanding.
(a+b)^2 = a^2 - b^2
in this case, 16x^2 will be a^2 and 25 will be b^2. not sure whether you’ve learn this but yea.
The answer would be b hope this helps :)
