Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of d are different on the two sides of the equation (3d vs 6d), so the equation has one solution.
__
Dividing by 3 gives ...
d +11 = 2(d +33)
d + 11 = 2d + 66
Adding -d-66 to both sides gives ...
-55 = d . . . . . . the one solution
Answer:
slope is -5
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation is in slope-intercept form:
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In the given equation, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is 1.
Standard formula for arithmetic sequence:
an = a0 + d(n-1)
if we use the two terms given, setting a12 as starting term and a45 as the end term an.
170 = 38 + 33d
170 - 38 = 33d
132 = 33d
132/33 = d
This is the common difference, use it to find the first term.
38 = a0 + (132/33)(12-1)
38 = a0 + (132/33)(11)
38 = a0 + 132/3
38 - 132/3 = a0
38 - 44 = a0
-6 = a0
The starting term is -6
