Answer:

x = -11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by combining like terms: 6x = -22

Then divide both sides by 6 to isolate x:

x = -11/3

Answer:

x = -11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 2 = -10x - 20

Add 10x to each side

-4x+10x + 2 = -10x+10x - 20

6x+2 = -20

Subtract 2 from each side

6x+2-2 = -20 -2

6x = -22

Divide by 6

6x/6 = -22/6

x = -11/3

in a AP the first term is 8,nth term is 33 and sum to first n terms is 123.Find n and common difference

allsm [11]

I believe there is no such AP...

Recursively, this sequence is supposed to be given by

$\begin{cases}a_1=8\\a_k=a_{k-1}+d&\text{for }k>1\end{cases}$

so that

$a_k=a_{k-1}+d=a_{k-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(k-1)d$

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

$33=8+(n-1)d$

$21=(n-1)d$

$n$ has to be an integer, which means there are 4 possible cases.

Case 1: $n-1=1$ and $d=21$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^2(8+21(k-1))=37\neq123$

Case 2: $n-1=21$ and $d=1$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{22}(8+1(k-1))=407\neq123$

Case 3: $n-1=3$ and $d=7$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^4(8+7(k-1))=74\neq123$

Case 4: $n-1=7$ and $d=3$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^8(8+3(k-1))=148\neq123$
