Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.
If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.
For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.
18 - 7x = -20.5
We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.
18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5
Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.
-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5
So, x is equal to 5.5.
Answer:
57 squares
Step-by-step explanation:
38/2=19
19*3=57
An arithmetic sequence starts with one number and you add the common difference to the previous term to get the current term
So...
f(x)=mx+b
m=common difference
b=starting point
f(11)=125=11m+b
-
f(1)=5=1m+b
--------
120=10m
Divide both sides by 10
12=m
Your common difference is 12.
