Answer:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference or pattern between two consecutive terms constant.
A geometric sequence is a sequence with a ratio between two consecutive terms constant.
The answer is b. 11.
You can find this by multiplying the two parenthesis together. In order to do this, you can use a multiplying process known as FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last), where you multiply parts of the parenthesis in this order to make sure you do so properly.
First Numbers:
2x * x = 2x^2
Outer Numbers:
2x * 6 = 12x
Inner Numbers:
-1 * x = -1x
Last Numbers:
-1*6 = -6
Now place them all in that order and simplify.
2x^2 + 12x - x - 6 ---> simplify x terms
2x^2 + 11x - 6
Since the middle term (the one with the x value) has a coefficient of 11, that gives us a b value of 11.
Explain: it’s equals to 20

According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation
X = 7 + 3Y i
X + Y = 75 ii
So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i
X = 7 + 3Y
- X - Y = - 75
- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75
4Y = 68
Y = 17
for X we will use ii:
X + Y = 75
X + 17 = 75
X = 58
The smaller number is: 17
