5. Solve the equation - 4(x - 1) + 6x = 2(17 -- x) for x.

x = 15/2 or 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 (x - 1) + 6x = 2(17 - x)

First, distribute the -4 and 2, and remember that multiplying two negatives make a positive.

-4x + 4 + 6x = 34 - 2x

Combine like terms

2x + 4 = 34 - 2x

Subtract 4 from both sides

2x = 30 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

4x = 30

Finally, divide both sides by 4

x = 15/2 or 7.5

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
