Answer: first term = 6

Common difference = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight term =a +(n-1)d = a +(8-1)d = a + 7d

Third term = a+(n-1)d = a + (3-1)d =a + 2d

a + 7d = 2(a + 2d)

a + 7d = 2a + 4d

7d - 4d = 2a - a

a = 3d

The fifth term is equal to 14. This is:

a + 4d = 14

Put the value of a into the equation here

3d + 4d = 14

7d = 14

d = 14/7

d = 2

Recall that a + 4d = 14

a + 4(2) = 14

a + 8 = 14

a = 14 - 8

a = 6

The sum of two numbers is 18 and the difference is 8
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x = 13 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 18

x - y = 8

<u>Step 1:  Find y</u>

x = 18 - y

(18 - y) - y = 8

18 - y - y - 18 = 8 - 18

-2y / -2 = -10 / -2

<em>y = 5</em>

<em />

<u>Step 2:  Plug into x + y = 18 to get x</u>

x + 5 - 5 = 18 - 5

<em>x = 13</em>

<em />

Answer:  x = 13 and y = 5
