The terms x,0.5x + 7, and 3x - 1 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. how do i determine the value of x and state the three terms

So you know that for arithmetic sequences, the difference between each term is the same. So we can use this to form an equation:

Difference between term 2 and 1 = Difference between term 3 and 2



So the three values are:

5, 0.5(5)+7, 3(5)-1

= 5, 9.5, 14

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
