5x - 2 = 13
5x = 13 + 2
5x = 15 (divide both sides by 5 to get x)
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 3
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
(9+8-6)(4-5)
(17-6)(-1)
(11)(-1)
-11
1) rate of change is 1
2) rate of change is 2
In order to solve for a nth term in an arithmetic sequence, we use the formula written as:
an = a1 + (n-1)d
where an is the nth term, a1 is the first value in the sequence, n is the term position and d is the common difference.
First, we need to calculate for d from the given values above.
<span>a1 = 38 and a17 = -74
</span>
an = a1 + (n-1)d
-74 = 38 + (17-1)d
d = -7
The 27th term is calculated as follows:
a27 = a1 + (n-1)d
a27= 38 + (27-1)(-7)
a27 = -144 -----------> OPTION D
