What is the answer for -5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y

kari74 [83]

First distribute the negative through the parenthesis on the left and the 2 on the right.
-5 -15y +1 = 14y -32 - y
Combine like terms on the right and left
-4 -15y = 13y -32
Now move the variables to one side and the constants to the other.
Subtract 13y from both sides
-4 -28y = -32
Add 4 to both sides
-28y = -28
Divide both sides by -28
y = 1

Determine whether the given sequence could be geometric, arithmetic, or neither. if possible, identify either the common ratio o

REY [17]

ARITHMETIC CHECK: A sequence is said to be arithmetic if any two consecutive terms differ by the same constant.

So, the test to check if a series is arithmetic is to compute consecutive differences, and see if they all return the same number.

If we subtract the first two terms, we have $2-4 = -2$ . If we subtract the third and second terms, we have $1-2 = -1$ .

These two differences returned two different values, so the series is not arithmetic.

GEOMETRIC CHECK: A sequence is said to be geometric if any two consecutive terms are in the same ratio.

So, the test to check if a series is geometric is to compute consecutive ratios, and see if they all return the same number.

If we divide the first two terms, we have

$\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

If we divide the third and second terms, we have

$\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Finally, if we divide the last two terms we have

$\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{1} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

So, all ratios return the same number. This means that the series is geometric, and the common ratio is 1/2
