One possible inequality would be
1999-x<0.
If you subtract any year after he stepped down from 1999, the year he stepped down, the result will be a negative number.
Answer:
x= -1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
You haven't included enough information for the question, but assuming that a and b are the same then a is 4 and b is 4
1st term = -10
2nd term = -6
3rd term = -2
4th term = 2
5th term = 6
6th term = 10
7th term = 14
The reason how I got 14 for the 7th term is because, i added 4 to each term.
Hope this helps!
