Answer:
a) the common difference is 20
b) 
c) the common difference is -13
d) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn
Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56
Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get
36-16 =20
So, the common difference is 20
b) what is x_8? what is x_12
The formula used is: 
We know common difference d= 20, we need to find 
Using
we can find 

So, We have 
Now finding 

So, 
Now finding 

So, 
c) what is the common difference of the sequence 
Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78
Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get
91-104 =-13
So, the common difference is -13
d) what is a_12? what is a_15?
The formula used is: 
We know common difference d= -13, we need to find 
Using
we can find 

So, We have 
Now finding
, put n=12

So, 
Now finding
, put n=15

So, 
Answer:
i believe the answer is 39/20 which could also be 13/7

Answer:
x=16°
Step-by-step explanation:
5*x-30=2*(x+18)
For the second, I'd say it is:
5*x-30=2*x+18
Let's solve both.
5*x-30=2*(x+18)
5x-30=2x+36
3x=66
x=22
5*x-30=2*x+18
3x+48
x=16°
2/3 and 8/12 are proportional but 3/14 and 8/28 aren’t
Answer:
<em>Johnny had </em><em>5</em><em> items and Bobby had </em><em>13</em><em> items.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that Johnny has x items and Bobby has y items in their list.
Bobby had 3 more than twice as many items on it than Johnny. So,
----------1
Johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby. So,
-----------2
Putting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1, we get




Putting the value of y in equation 2,


So, Johnny had 5 items and Bobby had 13 items.
