To solve this, add 17 to both sides:
x = -25 + 17
x = -8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the LCM of 1,2,12,30,84,165 you must first find the prime factors of 12,30,84 and 165
12| 2 30| 2 84| 2 165| 3
6 | 2 15 | 3 42| 2 55 | 5
3 | 3 5 | 5 21 | 3 11 | 11
1 1 7 | 7 1
1

Now we look for common and uncommon factors with their greatest exponent
LCM(1,2,12,30,84,165)
Common factors with their greatest exponent: 
Uncommon factors with their greatest exponent: 

Solution :
If
is the total spending generated after n transactions, then
is the spending generated during the n-th transaction. Since the government spends D dollars, then
= D.
Then the second person will receive D dollars and spend
dollars. Therefore,
. The next person will receive
dollars, which means they are spending
dollars. Therefore,




....

∴ 



Answer:
D. Step 6: student needed to add the <em>b</em> value
Explanation:
All the steps are correct and they get the b value of 4.4. Since it's positive, it should be added in the orignal equation. So, it should look like y = -2x + 4.4 instead of y = -2x - 4.4
The answer would be an=-2+5n
