Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:For these, n is equal to the term you want. So you substitute the number in for whichever term you want. This means:
a) 1 (1st term) + 5 = 6
2 (2nd term) + 5 = 7
3 (3rd term) + 5 = 8
4 (4th term) + 5 = 9
10 (10th term) + 5 = 15
And so on for b (not going to keep writing the term, I’m sure you get that by now.
b) 2(1) - 1 = (2x1) - 1 = 1
2(2) - 1 = (2x2) - 1 = 3
2(3) - 1 = (2x3) - 1 = 5
2(4) - 1 = (2x4) - 1 = 7
2(10) - 1 = (2x10) - 1 = 19
Hope this helps :)
The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.
1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16
2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16
3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12
4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3
To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.
