You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said
-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .
You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say
5 cows .
When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.
Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.
From what we know, p is 20 more than q. So, we can assume p = 20 + q. Q can also be found by subtracting 20 from both sides. So, q = p - 20.
Hope this helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the formula for the nth term ,
First , find the common difference or common ratio.
Common difference =
Common ratio =
The common difference applies to the other given numbers for example :
this proves that it is an arithmetic sequence and the given formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
T_n =a(n-1)d
Where n = no of terms
a= first term
d= common difference
Each means to multiply I dont know if thats the word you are asking to us to define
The answer to your question is 2/4 which is 1/2
