Add 12 to both sides resulting in 5a = 60 and then divide both sides by 5 which results in a = 12 so your answer will be a = 12
Answer:the nth term of the sequence, Tn= -3n +12
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is given as
Tn= a+ (n-1) d
where a= first term
and d = common difference
In this sequence, 9, 6 ,3 ,0, -3, -6 we can see that the number is decreasing by 3
The first term, a= 9
and common difference, d = -3
using our formulae
Tn= a+ (n-1) d
Tn= 9 + ( n-1) -3
Tn=9- 3n+ 3
Tn= -3n +12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given points:</u>
- A(-1, -9) and M(0.5, -2.5)
Let the coordinates of B are (x, y)
<u>Use midpoint formula to determine the point B:</u>
- 0.5 = (- 1 + x)/2 ⇒ 1 = -1 + x ⇒ x = 1 + 1 = 2
- -2.5 = (-9 + y)/2 ⇒ -5 = -9 + y ⇒ y = -5 + 9 = 4
Answer: (4x+12) - (2x-5)
Step-by-step explanation: The (4x+12) is positive and the (2x-5) is negative.
Answer:
x=5,y=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
You add the two equations to get: 4x=20
Then you get x=5.
You plug this in to x-y=17 to get y=-12
The answer is x=5 and y=-12
