Answer:
a) the common difference is 20
b) 
c) the common difference is -13
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn
Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56
Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get
36-16 =20
So, the common difference is 20
b) what is x_8? what is x_12
The formula used is: 
We know common difference d= 20, we need to find 
Using
we can find 

So, We have 
Now finding 

So, 
Now finding 

So, 
c) what is the common difference of the sequence 
Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78
Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get
91-104 =-13
So, the common difference is -13
d) what is a_12? what is a_15?
The formula used is: 
We know common difference d= -13, we need to find 
Using
we can find 

So, We have 
Now finding
, put n=12

So, 
Now finding
, put n=15

So, 
Hiya. I'm going to rewrite the second equation.
By subtracting 5x by both sides, I'll be able to have y by itself:
-y=-5x+13
I'm going to then divide both sides by -1 to get:
y=5x-13.
Then, I'm going to plug that equation into the first equation
3x+2(5x-13)=39
Factor:
3x+10x-26=39
Combine like terms:
13x=65
Divide both sides by 13 to get x by itself to get x=5
Plug this back into the equation of y=5x-13
y=5(5)-13 to get y=12
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8=20/p
p=32

The answer is D because all the rest of the statments are untrue. d is also right because 4 people walked 3-5 miles and 3 people walked 6-8 miles and as you know, 3+4=7
Answer:
y=-1/3 x +2/3
