That answer is correct, 9x + 4 -5y. Only like terms are the x terms and we add 3 and 6 together.
12
First figure out of it is a arithmetic or geometric sequence, in this case it is a geometric sequence because you have to multiply, not add to find the next number.
Divide one number, I'll pick 324 by the number before it, 108, you get three.
Now divide 36 by 3, you get 12.
To check, multiply 12 by 3, you get 36, multiply that by 3, you get 108, and so on and so forth.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
