-25 - 12x = -(-8x - 6) - 3(5x + 12)
Distributive property.
-25 - 12x = 8x + 6 - 15x - 36
Combine like terms.
-25 - 12x = -7x - 30
Add 12x to both sides.
-25 = 5x - 30
Add 30 to both sides.
5 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 1
The x-intersect is 1.
an = a1+ d(n-1)
a1 =14
an=206 when n=25
206 = 14 + d (25-1)
206 = 14 + d * 24
subtract 14 from each side
192 = 24d
divide by 24 on each side
d=8
The common difference is 8
3 x 10 (with a small 6 at the top right of the ten). Hope this helped
A^-b is the same as 1/a^b.
When there is a negative power, place the number and power over 1.
a^b/a^c = a^(b-c).
c is a negative power, because it is being divided, and is underneath b, which is a positive (and so it stays in the numerator).
a^c/b^c = (a/b)^c
Inside this one, the power of c is distributed to all numbers inside the parenthesis, in this case a and b.
hope this helps
