Explanation:
The common difference of this arithmetic sequence is 5. Adding 5 to an even number gives an odd number, and vice versa. Hence the "parity" of the terms in the sequence must alternate between odd and even.
33 = 88x
x = 33/88
x = .375 = 37.5 percent
B subtract 18 from both sides
Simplifying
5x(4y + 3x) = 5x(3x + 4y)
Reorder the terms:
5x(3x + 4y) = 5x(3x + 4y)
(3x * 5x + 4y * 5x) = 5x(3x + 4y)
Reorder the terms:
(20xy + 15x2) = 5x(3x + 4y)
(20xy + 15x2) = 5x(3x + 4y)
20xy + 15x2 = (3x * 5x + 4y * 5x)
Reorder the terms:
20xy + 15x2 = (20xy + 15x2)
20xy + 15x2 = (20xy + 15x2)
Add '-20xy' to each side of the equation.
20xy + -20xy + 15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
Combine like terms: 20xy + -20xy = 0
0 + 15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
Combine like terms: 20xy + -20xy = 0
15x2 = 0 + 15x2
15x2 = 15x2
Add '-15x2' to each side of the equation.
15x2 + -15x2 = 15x2 + -15x2
Combine like terms: 15x2 + -15x2 = 0
0 = 15x2 + -15x2
Combine like terms: 15x2 + -15x2 = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
