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:
3x^2 + 3xy/2 - 7xy^2/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know the perimeter is 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2,
To find any perimeter you need 2l + 2w = P so,
One of the sides is 7x^2 - xy
First plug in the values,
2(7x^2-xy) + 2w = 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2
Multiply,
14x^2-2xy + 2w = 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2
Subtract,
14x^2 - 2xy - 14x^2 + 2xy + 2w = 20x^2 + xy - 7y^2 - 14x^2 + 2xy
2w = 6x^2 + 3xy - 7y^2
w = 3x^2 + 3xy/2 - 7xy^2/2
