Answer:
(a) The sum of the previous term and 9
(b) 36, 45, 54
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Sequence: Arithmetic Progression
Solving (a): Describe the relationship in each term
First, we calculate the common difference (d)
In arithmetic progression:
Take n as 2
Where
<em>The relationship is: The sum of the previous term and 9</em>
Solving (b): The next three terms
As said in (a) each term is derived from a sum of 9 and the previous term
So, we have:
Hence, the next three terms are: 36, 45 and 54
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal (-8/7). You would get 40/7 or 5.71428571
Answer:
n = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-4(-6x + 3) = 12
Reorder the terms:
-4(3 + -6x) = 12
(3 * -4 + -6x * -4) = 12
(-12 + 24x) = 12
Solving
-12 + 24x = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 24x = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + 12
24x = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24
24x = 24
Divide each side by '24'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
