We have the following:

solving for x

The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation
Answer:
ok so you see the equation at the top... you are going to "plug in" the number in the "in" row to get the "out number
Step-by-step explanation:
example
in: 4
-2(-4)+1
8+1
9
so for the out row under -4 you would put 9
-2(-3)+1
6+1
7
so for the out row under 3 you would put 7
Janine = J = 15
Leah = L = ?
L = J + 6
L = 15 + 6
L = 21
So Leah spent $21
Answer:
The answer is 85
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation used to find the sum of an arithmetic series is: (n/2) * (a1 + an).
n in this case is 10 (the number of numbers in the series)
an is 22 (plug in 10 to the expression 3n-8)
and a1 is -5 (plug in 1 to the expression 3n-8)
so when you plug everything in to the final equation, you get
(10/2) * (-5 + 22)
5 * 17
85
Plug in a -20 wherever you see a b
(-20)^2 +4*-20-89/13
400 + -80-89/13
400 - 169/13
400-13
=387
Hope this helps
