In this question, you have to isolate <em>x</em>.
First, use the distributive property.

Now that you have distributed, subtract the constants.

nice ;)
Answer: 18 units
Step-by-step explanation:since its is a horizontal line x2 - x1
7 -1 = 6
line 2:
since this is a vertical line y2 - y1
7 - 3 = 4
line 3:
since this is a horizontal line x2 - x1
7 - 4 = 3
line 4:
for this we need to use the distance formula which allows us to find the distance making a third point to form a right angle triangle
point 1: (1,3)
point 2: (4,7)
point 3 (new point) : (4,3)
now we can apply the pythogorean thereum (C squared = B squared + A squared) with the following lines.
line 1: (1,3) - (4,7)
line 2: (1,3) - (4,3)
line 3: (4,3) - (4,7)
line 1 squared = line2 squared + line 3 squared
calculate length of line 2 and 3
line 1 squared = (4 - 1) squared + (7 - 3) squared
line 1 squared = 3 squared + 4 squared
line 1 squared = 9 + 16
line 1 squared = 25
root both sides
line 1 = 5
add all the liens together
6 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 18
Answer:
Below, depends if 27 is term number 1 or term number 0. Answered for both cases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most common sequences are arithmetic and geometric, so lets check those first.
Arithmetic first since its the easiest.
to go from 27 to 21 we subtract 6, if we subtract 6 from 21 again we get to 15, which is what we need, so it is indeed arithmetic.
Explicit formula is basically of the form of y=mx+b with an arithmetic sequence. the m is the common difference and b is the first term minus the common difference. so lets fill those in. y = -6x + 33
Then it usually has n as the x and y f(n) so we'll just put those in
f(n) = -6n + 33
This si as long as the first term is labeled as term number 1 and not term number 0. if you have 27 as term 0 instead just make 33 back to 27, so f(n) = -6n + 27
Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
