If Jose has n books, Lynn has n+4 books

when Lynn gives Jose 6 books her total number of books changes by -6 so it becomes: n+4-6 = n-2

Jose gains 6 books so his total becomes: n+6

We can minus Jose's books from Lyn's books total to get the difference: (n+6)-(n-2) = n -n +6 --2 = 8

Therefore Jose has 8 more books than Lynn.

Write three consecutive multiples of 13 in a general form.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

answer given in step by step...

Step-by-step explanation:

13x+13(x+1)+13(x+2)=312

13x+13x+13+13x+26=312

39x+39=312

39x=312-39

39x=273

x=7

first number=13x=13*7=91

second number=13(8)=104

third number=13(9)=117

Solve for x: -7x+2=-4x-7
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative.  4x + (-7x) = -3x.  Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7.  Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2.  Then you should get -3x = -9.  Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.

If the first differences of a sequence are a constant -7 and the third term is 22, find the first 5 terms of the sequence.
Andru [333]

Answer:

36, 29, 22, 15, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: State known information

First difference is -7

Third term of the sequence is 22

Step 2: Find first 5 terms

You just need to add and subtract 7 to 22 and the answer 5 times

1. 36 +7

2. 29 +7

3. 22 <- We know 22 is the 3rd term

4. 15 -7

5. 8 -7

Therefore the first 5 terms of the sequence is 36, 29, 22, 15, 8
