Simplify by combing like terms to get 2x+5
The answers would be:
the coefficient is 2
the constant is 5
There are two terms.
Answer: The common ratio is -1/3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Pick any term to divide it by the previous term. I'm going to pick the second term and divide it by the first term.
r = common ratio
r = (term 2) divided by (term 1)
r = (4/9) divided by (-4/3)
r = (4/9) * (-3/4)
r = (4*(-3))/(9*4)
r = -12/36
r = -1/3
The common ratio is -1/3
This means you multiply each term by -1/3 to get the next term
For instance
term 2 = r*(term 1)
term 2 = (-1/3)*(-4/3)
term 2 = ((-1)*(-4))/(3*3)
term 2 = 4/9
-320<t because the temperature has to be greater then -320
Consecutive odd numbers are 2 apart
they are
x,x+2,x+4,x+6
10+2x=x+4+x+6
10+2x=2x+10
x=x
true
any consecutive odd integers will work
1,3,5,7 works
3,5,7,9 works
etc
