EXPLANATION
If the first two terms of an arithmetic sequence are 7 and 4, then we know that an arithmetic sequence has a constant difference d and is defined by

Check wheter the difference is constant:
Compute the differences of all the adjacent terms:

Replacing terms:
4-7 = -3
The difference between all of the adjacent terms is the same and equal to
d = -3
The first element of the sequence is


Therefore, the nth term is computed by
d= -3

Refine
d= -3 ,

Now, replacing n=7

So, the answer is -11.
8(c-12)=40 that gonna be equal to 8c-96=-40 or 8c=-40+96 ,8c =56 divide both sides by 8 that equal to 7.....
#3 the answer is 4.
The reasoning for this is because x=-1 so if it is applied where x is at you have to subtract instead of multiplying in this equation. So 2xsquared is 2-1 which is 1. Same thing for 6x (6-1) which is 5. So the problem would end up being 1-5 which equals 4.
Answer:
jane will arrive at 3:41
Mira will arrive at 3:50
so the the difference in time is 9 minutes

The shaded area = Circle area - square area
circle area = 314
square area = 100
the the shaded area = 214
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply
5(x+3)=3(x+7)
5x+15=3x+21
5x+15-3x=3x+21-3x
2x+15=21
2x+15-15=21-15
2x=6
x=3
