Q-2r=4, therefore: q=4+2r.
Plug the value of q into q+r=37, so you get:
4+2r+r=37
3r=37-4=33
3r=33
Therefore: r=11.
q-2r=4, but r=11, so:
q-2(11)=4
q-22=4
Therefore q=26.
Check if the answer is correct using second equation:
q=4+2r=4+2(11)=4+22=26.
So: q=26 and r=11.
I agree im not the best at math but I think it is $0. Hope this helps. Sorry if im wrong.
The common difference is -5
right now, a₁₂ = 22
to get a₁, subtract 5 each time you subtract one from the subscript
so
a₁₁ = 17
a₁₀ = 12
a₉ = 7
a₈ = 2
a₇ = -3
a₆ = -8
a₅ = -13
a₄ = -18
a₃ = -23
a₂ = - 28
a₁ = -33
a₁ = -33
hope this helps
