A₁ = -8 This is the first term in an arithmetic sequence.
d = 3, the common difference
a(n) = a₁ + d(n-1)
a₇ = -8 + 3(7-1)
a₇ = -8 + 3(6)
a₇ = -8 + 18
a₇ = 10
To check:
a₁ = -8
a₂ = -8 + 3 = -5
a₃ = -5 + 3 = -2
a₄ = -2 + 3 = 1
a₅ = 1 + 3 = 4
a₆ = 4 + 3 = 7
a₇ = 7 + 3 = 10
Answer:
-168
Step-by-step explanation:
14(5−11)(2)
=(14)(−6)(2)
=(−84)(2)
=−168
Plug the number for the x value and then solve the equation.
Answer:
14.5 hours/14 hours 30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
- The distance between the two cities is 7.25•100=725 because you multiply the scale distance by the scale.
- The number hours is 725/50=14.5 hours because you divide the distance by 50 (the miles per hour).
Answer:
-2b/(a-b)
Step-by-step explanation:
1− (a+b/a−b)
We need to get a common denominator of a-b
1 = (a-b)/(a-b)
Replace 1 with (a-b)/(a-b)
(a-b)/(a-b) - (a+b)/(a-b)
Put over the common denominator
(a-b) - (a+b)
-----------------
(a-b)
Distribute the minus sign.
(a-b) - a-b)
-----------------
(a-b)
a-a-b-b
---------------
a-b
-2b
----------
a-b
