Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
Answer:
2.8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = rate * time
If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.
If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.
The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:
80t + 90t = 476 and
170t = 476 so
t = 2.8 hours
Answer:
499
Step-by-step explanation:
9,999 would be the greatest value
9500 would be the smallest value
if you subtract them you'll get 499
