Answer:
The step 4 is not what he should have done. But the wrong is step 5, because if he added -2x both sides, it would give the following equation:
and not 
Note that in step 4 he should have added 2x and not -2x to both sides, but we still have the equality. The problem is that step 5 is totally wrong.
I don't know what answer is expected to this question, but I would mark step 5, because this is mathematically wrong.
Solving the equation
Using distribution
Add 
both sides
Add 12 both sides
Divide both sides by 5
To find the 7th term, all you have to do is plug it in the equation.
First n would equal 7 because we are looking for the 7th term.
Now, let's plug everything we know into the equation.
a7 = 2+5 * (7-1)
= 2 + 5 * 6
= 2 + 30
= 32
In conclusion, the 7th term would equal 32.
Answer:
maybe it's D ( not sure tho)
So, we know the center is at -3,-1, ok
hmmm what's the radius anyway? well, we know that there's a point at 1,2 that is on the circle's path...hmmmm what's the distance from the center to that point? well, is the radius, let's check then.
