Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is one where the difference between any two consecutive terms in the sequence is constant.

For any arithmetic sequence the general formula is as follow

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d

where

a_{n} is the nth arithmetic value

a_{1} is the initial arithmetic value

n is the nth term

d is the difference is consecutive arithmetic values

To find the value of x we form a number of simultaneous equations

a_{1} = 3 + x\\ a_{2} = (3 + x) + 1 d\\ a_{3} = (3 + x) + 2 d

from the given information we also know that

a_{2} = 9 + 3 x\\  a_{3} = 13 + 4x

Solving these equations simultaneous we find the value of x to be

x = -2

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves trigonometry. Since we need to find the value of a, we need to find a trig equation with a as the numerator. Luckily, we have one, tan. So, tan(20) is equal to a/6, right. So, using a calculator, tan(20) is approximately equal to 0.363. This times 6 should equal a. This is approximately around 2.1. Thus our answer is 2.1
