Answer:

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

an = 5n -3

a1 = 5 -3 = 2

a2 = 5*2 -3 = 10 - 3 = 7

d = a2 - a1 = 7 - 2 = 5

Answer:

Hi here is your answer

an=5n-3

an-1= -3+5n

an-1= -3+5(n-1)

an-1= -3+5n-5

an-1= 5n-7

d= an- an-1

d=(5n-3)-(5n-7)

d=5n-3-5n+7

d=4

Answer: d = 4

Hope this helps you.

Which ordered pair is a solution of the system of a linear equation below? Y= 1/4x +2 y= x-1

Tanya [424]

Answer: x = 4, y = 3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+2$ and $y=x-1$

Using substitution method we get:

$x-1=\dfrac{1}{4}x+2\\\\\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{1}{4}x\ \text{from both sides}\rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}x-1=2\\\\\text{add 1 to both sides}\rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}x=3\\\\\text{multiply both sides by 4}\rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\text{divide both sides by 3}\rightarrow x=4\\\\\text{Insert x = 4 into one of the original equations to solve for y:}\\y=x-1\\y =(4)-1\\y=3$

The corners of a meadow are shown on a coordinate grid. Ethan wants to fence the meadow. What length of fencing is required?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

34.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The lenght of fencing required is the total distance between point A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A. That is the distance between all 4 corners of the meadow.

The coordinates of the corners of the meadow is shown on a coordinate plane in the attachment. (See attachment below).

Let's use the distance formula to calculate the distance between the 4 corners of the meadow using their coordinates as follows:

Distance between point A(-6, 2) and point B(2, 6):

$AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$
