Answer:
x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
M is the midpoint this means that we can set AM and BM equal to eachother, once this is done we can solve for x
9x-6=6x+27 (set equal to eachother)
9x=6x+33 (add 6)
3x=33 (subtract 6x)
x=11 (divide by 3)
Interesting question. Good to know for computer science.
Suppose you have a function like
an = 3x - 2 Try the first couple
a1 = 3(1) - 2
a1 = 3 - 2
a1 = 1
a2 = 3(2) - 2
a2 = 6 - 2
a2 = 4 So each term differs by 3
a2 - a1 = 3
an = a_(n - 1) + 3
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 4 + 3
a3 = 7
a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 7 + 3
a4 = 10
a5 = a4+ 3
a5 = 10 + 3
a5 = 13
I'll do one more and then check it.
a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16
a6 = 3x -2
a6 = 3*6 - 2
a6 = 18 - 2
a6 = 16 which checks.
So the general formula is
an = a_(n - 1) * k if you were multiplying or
an = a_(n - 1) + k if you were adding. The key thing is that you are working with the previous term.
We can write a proportion between short and long legs:
Solving for k yields

Answer: Choice B</h3>
==========================================
Explanation:
Here's a slightly more detailed breakdown of what's going on
3x + 2y = 15 ... start with the first equation
3x + 2( y ) = 15 .... the parenthesis don't change the expression
3x + 2( 3x+5) = 15 ... replace y with 3x+5; since y = 3x+5
From here, you solve for x like you would any other single variable equation. Once you know x, you can determine y through y = 3x+5.
Start at 1 and drag it towards the end of the negative side :)
