9*(x-1)=2x-7
First get rid of your parenthesis by distributing.
9x-9=2x-7
Then all you have to do is isolate the variable
9x=2x+2
7x=2
so x= 2/7
Answer:
The18th term of the given sequence is -128
Explanation:
To find the 18th term of the sequence:
42, 32, 22, 12, ..., we need to find the nth term of the sequence first.
The nth term of a sequence is given be the formula:

Where a is the first term, and d is the common difference.
Here, a = 42, d = 32 - 42 = -10

To find the 18th terem, substitute n = 18 into the nth term
You do pemdas and the answer should be 27
The correct answer for each is
a= 390.8
b= 136.8
