You Just want to get Fahrenheit alone on one side of the equal sign. Your teacher forgot to use parenthesis. The correct equation for Celsius to Fahrenheit is: 
Which will give you a completely different answer.... 
****
We will solve it using what is given:
C = (5/9)F - 32
C + 32 = (5/9)F
9(C + 32) = 5F
(9/5)(C + 32) = F
** If they mark you wrong, and try to say the answer is F = (9/5)C + 32 then they shouldn't be teaching math, and you should point out the fact there are no parenthesis around the F - 32 in the given formula.
Answer: x=21
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x you must first combine you like terms on each side of the equal sign. So you problem will become 8x+1=22+7x. Then get your x on one side and your numbers on the other by taking the one away from the right side and 1 away from 22. Then take away 7 from the left side to cancel it out. Then take 7x away from 8x to leave you with x. making your answer x=21
2r + 2s = 50
2r - s = 17
-----------subtract
3s = 33
s = 11
2r - s = 17
2r - 11 = 17
2r = 28
r = 14
so r = 14 and s = 11
answer is C. r = 14, s = 11
From the recursive rule, you can tell the initial value is 3 and the common ratio is 12. The explicit rule is always
.. (n-th term) = (initial value)*(common ratio)^(n -1)
Subsituting the values you know, you have
.. an = 3*12^(n-1)
