Answer:

Now we have:  -13, 8, -5, 3, -2, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Fibonacci sequence.

though modified.

so  a_n = a_(n-1) + a_(n-2)

with a_3 = -5,

a_4 = 3

a_3 = -5 = a_2 + a_1

a_4 = 3 = a_3 + a_2 = -5 + a_2

then   a_2 = 3 + 5 = 8

then.

a_3 = -5 = a_2 + a_1 = 8 + a_1

a_1 = -5 - 8 = -13

We now have:   -13, 8, -5, 3, ....

Now we can find  a_5  and a_6

a_5 = a_4 + a_3 = 3 + -5 = -2

a_6  = a_5 + a_4 = -2 + 3 = 1

Now we have:  -13, 8, -5, 3, -2, 1

What is the value of x in the equation 3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15
Zepler [3.9K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Here is our equation

3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15

First, we will sue the distributive property to remove the parentheses. The term outside the parentheses is -4, so that is what we multiply the insides by.

3x-8x+20=15

We combine our like terms (our x-values).

-5x+20=15

We subtract 20 from both sides.

-5x=-5

We divide both sides by -5.

x=1

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
