To solve the problem, what you must do is a system of two equations with two Ingonites that describe the problem.
Let:
x = number of shirt buttons.
y = number of buttons on jackets.
Writing the system:
36x + 42y = 842
6x + 7y = 137
We observe that the system is linearly dependent, therefore, it can not be solved.
However, the solution is to solve the system of two equations with two unknowns.
In order to solve it, the system must be linearly independent.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
2 terms
Answer: -9n+20
This is the same as 20-9n
================================================
Explanation:
The jump from 11 to 2 is "minus 9"
The jump from 2 to -7 is also "minus 9".
Assuming this pattern continues on, we have an arithmetic sequence with
- a = 11 = first term
- d = -9 = common difference
The nth term can be found like so
Let's check the answer by trying n = 3
This shows the third term is -7, which matches what the original sequence shows. The answer is partially confirmed. I'll let you check the other values of n. You should get 11 when trying n = 1, and you should get 2 when trying n = 2.
