×=y/3-z/3+3 thats the x value in this equation
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
it has to be a negative number since
every other number is negative
its a fraction since the numbers are decreasing
96 divided by 48 is 2
so the number being multiplied or ration must be -1/2
In this problem we need to find the value of a and b. So given that t<span>he function should be in the form f(n) = an + b and we know each value of n, then out goal is to find a and b.
For getting this purpose, we need to find a system of two equations (given that we have two unknown variables)
Therefore:
(1) f(0) = a(1) + b = 18
</span>∴ a + b = 18
<span>
(2) f(1) = a(2) + b = 24
</span>∴ 2a + b = 24<span>
Solving for a and b we have:
a = 6
b = 12
Finally:
f(n) = 6n + 12</span>
F (-5) = (4/5 × -5) + 4
= (-4) + 4
= 0
