To find the next term in an arithmetic sequence, your best bet would be to use the formula N(x)= N(1) + (x-1)*d, where x stands for the term you want to find, N(1) stands for the first number in the sequence, and d stands for the common difference between the numbers.
First, lets see what we can plug in. We know the first term in the sequence (N(1)) is 11, we know that we want to find the 23rd number in the sequence (x), and by subtracting the 2nd term by the 1st term (14-11), the common difference (d) is 3. When we plug that all into our equation, it should end up looking something like this: N(23)= 11 + (23-1)*3.
Next, we can break down the equation to solve it step by step using PEMDAS. Parenthesis go first, so N(23)= 11 + (23-1)*3 becomes N(23)= 11 + (22)*3. We don't have any exponents, so we can skip the E. Next, we do multiplication and division from left to right, so N(23)= 11 + (22)*3 becomes N(23)= 11 + 66. Finally, we do addition and subtraction from left to right, getting us from N(23)= 11 + 66 to N(23)= 77, which means that the 23rd number in the sequence is 77!
Answer: Choice B) (24,10)
---------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
2x - 4y = 8
2( x ) - 4y = 8
2( 3y-6 ) - 4y = 8 ... notice x has been replaced with 3y-6
2(3y)+2(-6) - 4y = 8
6y-12 - 4y = 8
2y-12 = 8
2y-12+12 = 8+12 ... add 12 to both sides
2y = 20
2y/2 = 20/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = 10
If y = 10, then
x = 3y-6
x = 3*10-6 ... replace y with 10
x = 30-6
x = 24
Put together, the solution is (x,y) = (24,10)
which is why the answer is choice B
As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (24,10) into each equation
x = 3y-6
24 = 3*10 - 6
24 = 30 - 6
24 = 24 ... true equation
and similarly for the second equation as well
2x-4y = 8
2*24 - 4*10 = 8
48 - 40 = 8
8 = 8 ... true equation
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (24,10) so the solution is confirmed
