Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative. 4x + (-7x) = -3x. Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7. Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2. Then you should get -3x = -9. Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.

Which of the following number sequences could be produced by the expression 2x+x2? A. 3, 8, 15, 24 B. 1, 3, 5, 7 C. 1, -1, -3, -

Alla [95]

A) 3, 8, 15, 24 is correct.

Letting x be the term number (position in the sequence), for the first term, we have:

2(1) + 1^2 = 2+1 = 3

For the second term:
2(2) + 2^2 = 4+4 = 8

Third term:
2(3) + 3^2 = 6+9 = 15

Fourth term:
2(4) + 4^2 = 8+16 = 24
