11 is the value of x. hope this helps you
Your method is completely correct. The first term will be 6 and each subsequent term can be obtained by adding 6 to the previous one, meaning the common difference is 6. The number of terms is given by the highest number that is divisible by 6 and dividing it by 6; that is 996/6 = 166
Then we simply apply the formula for arithmetic sequence sum:
S = n/2 [2a₁ + (n - 1)d]
S = 166/2 [ 2(6) + (166 - 1)6]
S = 83,166
Answer:
Mathematics is a branch of science which involves numbers,space and quantity.
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this helps you in any way.Have a great day :)
-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P
