Hey there!
Here is your question -

In this equation, you're looking for n alone. To keep the variable alone, you have to do the opposite of what's happening to the variable.
In this equation, 12 is being added to n. The opposite of that is subtracting 12.
Subtract 12 from both sides -

Your answer is -8.
Hope this helps! :)
Answers:
1, 6, 36, 216: Geometric
12, 4, -4, -12: Arithmetic
1, 2, 8, 64: Neither
-216, -72, -24, -8: Geometric
Explanations:
Arithmetic Sequence: Every number in the sequence is either added or subtracted by the same number. We know that 12, 4, -4, -12 is arithmetic because each number in the sequence is subtracted by 8.
Geometric Sequence: Every number in the sequence is either multiplied or divided by the same number. We know that 1, 6, 36, 216 is geometric because each number in the sequence is multiplied by 6. We also know that -216, -72, -24, -8 is geometric because each number in the sequence is being divided by 3.
Neither: 1, 2, 8, 64 is neither because it is not being added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided by the same number.
I hope this helped!
Answer:
y = 1.5x + 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, plot 2x + 3y = 15 on a graph. Then plot (1,3) on a graph. After that, draw a line that passes through (1,3) and forms 90 degrees angles with 2x + 3y = 15. Then find the equation of that line by finding the y-intercept (0, 1.5). Then head up to the intersection point (1.6153846153846, 3.9230769230769). Subtract 1.5 from y. (2.4230769230769) Then divide by 1.5 (1.6153846153846). Reverse the operations you just did (in reverse order) to get the equation y = 1.5x + 1.5.
(I don't know how to explain this too well. Here's a graph to make more sense of it.)
Darren's model is wrong because he multiplied the fractions when he should have subtracted.
4/5 • 1/2 = 4/10
4/5 - 1/2
8/10 - 5/10 = 3/10
The correct model would be 3/10.
