Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

-2x - 5 = x - 17

-2x - 5 + 5 = x - 17 + 5

* cancel out 5 on each side of equal sign.

2)

-2x = x - 12

-2x - x = x - x - 12

* cancel out x on each side of equal sign.

3)

-3x = -12

-3x/ -3 = -12/-3

* cancel out -3x on each side of equal sign.

4) Simplify

x = 4

Hope this helps, good luck! :)

Have a great day!!

Each sequence below gives an explicit formula. Write the first five terms of each sequence. Then, write a recursive
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: Hello there!

we have the equation a(n) = (1/2)n - 1 for n ≥ 1

First we need the first five terms:

a(1) = (1/2)*1 - 1 = -1/2

a(2) = (1/2)*2 - 1 = 0

a(3) = (1/2)*3 - 1 = 1/2

a(4) = (1/2)*4 - 1 = 1

a(5) = (1/2)*5 - 1 = 3/2

then we can see that each  term is 1/2 bigger than the previous one, then a recursive relation can be written as:

a(n) = a(n-1) + 1/2

where n ≥ 2, and a(1) = -1/2
