If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
The key word “lost” indicates that the football player went back 10 yards. The correct answer is B. -10! :)
Answer: x = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
⁴ ⁻ˣ/₅ + ˣ + 2/₃ = 6
Now resolve into fraction and convert to a linear equation
4 - x /₅ + x + 2/₃ = 6
3( 4 -x ) + 5( x + 2 )/15 = 6
3( 4 - x ) + 5( x + 2 ) = 6 x 15
12 - 3x + 5x + 10 = 90
2x + 22 = 90
2x = 90 - 22
2x = 68
x = 34
•Using the formula the first term is a1 = −3
•Using the formula the second term is a2 = −1
•Using the formula the third term is a1 = 6
•Common difference formula:
a2 - a1 = (-1) - (-3) = 2
