EXPLANATION
If the first two terms of an arithmetic sequence are 7 and 4, then we know that an arithmetic sequence has a constant difference d and is defined by
Check wheter the difference is constant:
Compute the differences of all the adjacent terms:
Replacing terms:
4-7 = -3
The difference between all of the adjacent terms is the same and equal to
d = -3
The first element of the sequence is
Therefore, the nth term is computed by
d= -3
Refine
d= -3 ,
Now, replacing n=7
So, the answer is -11.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
use the comparison method
3x + 1 = 3x - 3
1 = -3
the expression is false for any value of x and y , so there no solution
Answer:
111°
Step-by-step explanation:
- All these are parallel lines, so the 36° angle is equal to the 36° angle inside the big triangle because they are vertically opposite.
- Ignore the line cutting between 45° and the 30° and consider it as one triangle
- Add them to get 75°
- Now you have two known angles 75° and 36°
- To get angle <em>x</em><em> </em>add 75° and 36° to get 111°
- Because x° is an exterior angle and exterior angles equal to the sum of interior angles opposite it inside the triangle.
The slope is 2/3 and the y intercept is -3
