X equals two point 5 I think
No, that's not true. The input variable of a sequence is called the index, which is a counter, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Note that all of these counters are positive integers. Normallly I use index i = 1 to denote the first term of a sequence, i = 2 the second term, and so on.
Decimals and irrational numbers are completely unsuitable for serving as such counters.
Thanks for the points ur so kinds
Look at the first line: y = (3/5)x - 3. What happens if you multiply each term by 5, to eliminate the fraction?
5y = 3x - 3
Compare this to the second equation,
5y - 3x = -10, or 5y = 3x - 10.
The coefficients of x and y (as 3 and 5 here) determine the slope of a straight line. Since 5y = 3x is present in both equations, the two lines MUST be parallel.
y = 4
4y = 6 => y = 6/4
y+4 and y =3/2 are both horizontal lines. Since they are horiz., they are parallel.
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance is equal to quotient of distance and speed. We let x be the speed of Terry and Mark's will be x+2. The equation that would best represent the scenario is,
15/x = 21/(x+2)
The value of x is 5. Thus, Mark's speed is 7 mph.
