$Let's solve for a.2(x+a)=4bStep 1: Add -2x to both sides.2a+2x+−2x=4b+−2x2a=4b−2xStep 2: Divide both sides by 2.\frac{2a}{2} =\frac{4b-2x}{2} \\a=2b-x\\Answer:a=2b−x$

Indicate the general rule for the arithmetic sequence with a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The general rule is $a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d$

In which $a_1$ is the first term and d is the common difference.

We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:

$a_n = a_m + (n-m)d$

a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

First we find the common difference. So

$a_n = a_m + (n-m)d$

$a_8 = a_3 + (8-3)d$

$-37 = -12 + 5d$

$5d = -25$

$d = -\frac{25}{5}$

$d = -5$

So

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

Finding the first term:

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

Since $a_3 = -12$

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

$a_3 = a_1 - 5(3-1)$

$a_1 = a_3 + 10 = -12 + 10 = -2$

So the general rule is:

$a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)$

$a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)$

Solve the matrix equation below

Ket [755]

Answer:

We need to distribute the values
Hence [-4 0: 0 - 2 ] +[0 -3: 5 -4] X + [ 0 -3: 5 -4 ] = [19 -27 : 10 -24]

yarga [219]

17 miles / 5 mph = 3.4 hours

22miles / 7 mph = 3.14 hours
