Answer:

the first term is 8 and common difference d is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given nth term of an arithmetic sequence is: aₙ=12-4n

We need to find first term and common difference of given arithmetic sequence

First term can be found by  putting n=1:

a_n=12-4n\\a_1=12-4(1)\\a_1=12-4\\a_1=8

So, first term is a₁= 8

Now to find common difference we need to find second term

Second term can be found by putting n=2

a_n=12-4n\\a_2=12-4(2)\\a_2=12-8\\a_2=4

So, second term is: 4

The common difference is found by subtracting second term with first term: a₂-a₁= 4-8 = -4

So, first term is 8 and common difference d is -4

Answer:

D) x = 4, y = -2, z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3z − 5

2x + 2z = y + 16

2(3z - 5) + 2z = y + 16

6z - 10 + 2z = y + 16

8z = y + 26 ---> (A)

7x − 5z = 3y + 19

7(3z - 5) - 5z = 3y + 19

21z - 35 - 5z = 3y + 19

16z = 3y + 54 ---> (B)

8z = y + 26

16z = 3y + 54

2(y + 26) = 3y + 54

2y + 52 = 3y + 54

y = -2

8z = -2 + 26

8z = 24

z = 3

x = 3(3) - 5

x = 4

X+1/2(x-4)=1/2x+6(x-2)
Andrej [43]

Answer:

B) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1/2(x-4)=1/2x+6(x-2)

x+1/2x-4/2=1/2x+6x-12

x+1/2x-1/2x-2=6x-12

x-2=6x-12

x-6x-2=-12

-5x-2=-12

-5x=-12+2

-5x=-10

5x=10

x=10/5

x=2
