Jesse solved the equation 42x+5) = 8 as shown. 4 + 25 + 5 = 8
22 + 5) = 4
Step 1
22 + 5 = 4
Or
20 - 5 = 4
Step 2
Step 3
21 = -1
Or
2.0 = 9
Step 4
or
Which statement is true about Jesse's solution?
A Jesse made a mistake in step 1. He should have rewritten the equation as 4 + (2x+5) = 8 and 4 + (2x + 5) = -8.
OB. Jesse made a mistake in step 2. He should have rewritten the equation as 2x+5 = 4 and 2x + 5 = -4.
OC. Jesse made a mistake in step 4. His solutions should be x=-2 or x=18.
OD. Jesse correctly solved the equation.

step-by-step explanation:

b and c

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
