Step-by-step explanation:
-7,-3,1,5,... is a arithmetic sequence.
Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. That is, it is going up by 4 each time.
When you see arithmetic sequence, you should think linear equation.
The point-slope form of a line is .
m is the common difference, the slope.
Any they are using the point at x=1 in the point slope form. So they are using (1,-7).
So let's put this into our point-slope form:
Subtract 7 on both sides:
So your answer is
Took me a minute to think.
Form ratios.
x, the small triangle, forms a ratio with 6, the big triangle.
The part of the side that is equal(with the dash) that is part of the small triangle is equal to 6-x, the big triangle.
Yes, you can cross-multiply here!
<em>Now,</em><em> </em>cross multiply.
P.S. Use distributive property.
36-6x = 8x
Add 6x on both sides.
36=14x
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x =
