<h3>
Answer: 15</h3>
===============================================
Work Shown:
d = common difference
p = first term = 24
q = second term = a+d = 24+d
r = third term = q+d = 24+d+d = 24+2d = 6
------------
Solve for d
24+2d = 6
2d = 6-24
2d = -18
d = -18/2
d = -9
We add -9 to each term to get the next term. This is the same as subtracting 9 from each term to get the next term.
------------
First term = 24
Second term = 24-9 = 15
Third term = 15-9 = 6
We get the sequence 24, 15, 6
We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".
<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>
Gained 20 means +20.
Loses 15 mean -15.
Therefore, we can setup an expression as:
<h3>+20 -15.</h3>
20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.
Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.
20-15 = 5 pounds.
Y = -3x + 6....the slope here is -3. A parallel line will have the same slope.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-4,7)....x = -4 and y = 7
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
7 = -3(-4) + b
7 = 12 + b
7 - 12 = b
-5 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = -3x - 5 <==
