Answer:
The answer is -13.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the nth term of an AP(arthimetic progression) is a+(n-1)d.
So the 7th term will be a+6d= -1 ---(1)
The 16th term will a+15d=17 ---(2)
Subtract (2) and (1)
a+15d-(a+6d)=17-(-1)
=a+15d-a-6d=17+1
9d=18
d=18/9
d=2.
Substitute d in eq (1)
a+6(2)= -1
a+12=-1
a= -1-12= -13
Thus the general term of the ap is -13
6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)
Simplify both sides of the equation.
−6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)
−6n+−20=−2n+(4)(1)+(4)(−3n)(Distribute)
−6n+−20=−2n+4+−12n
−6n−20=(−2n+−12n)+(4)(Combine Like Terms)
−6n−20=−14n+4
−6n−20=−14n+4
Add 14n to both sides.
−6n−20+14n=−14n+4+14n
8n−20=4
Add 20 to both sides.
8n−20+20=4+20
8n=24
Divide both sides by 8.
8n/8 = 24/8
n=3
If you solve a linear equation in one variable, "x=0" tells you that substituting 0 for x makes the equation true.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
15 because 15 divided by 3 equals 5 + 6 equals 11 and 11 minus 7 equals 4
