Step-by-step explanation:
b^2=4ac
b= -26, a=1, c=?
-26^2=4*1*c
676=4c
c=676/4
c=169
4w+x-4
Because when multiplying by a negative with a negative you will get a positive and multiplying a negative with a positive will get you a negative
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
