Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₆ = 17 and a₁₃ = 38, then
a₁ + 5d = 17 → (1)
a₁ + 12d = 38 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁
7d = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )
d = 3
Substitute d = 3 into (1) and evaluate for a₁
a₁ + 5(3) = 17
a₁ + 15 = 17 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
a₁ = 2
Thus
= 2 + (18 × 3) = 2 + 54 = 56
Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, , think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
