You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)
Answer: The tenth term is 76
=======================================================
Explanation:
We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term

Plug in
and you should get the following:

The tenth term is <u>76</u>
---------
We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in
which shifts everything one spot to the left.
Answer:
The answer is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply 3/4 by 8, you would get 6. Then, subtract 6 from 30, you would get 24. Larry's profit would be only $24.
Answer:
Multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
Follow PEMDAS, so first you would sub in the 5 then work in the parentheses so you would multiply the 5
