Nine less than the product of 2 and number is equal to 7

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write an equation

2x - 9 = 7

Step 2: Use the Addition Property of Equality

2x = 16

Step 3: Use the Division Property of Equality

x = 8

number = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "number" = x. Set the equation.

"product of 2 and number" = 2(x)

"nine less" = -9

"equal to 7" = "= 7"

2x - 9 = 7

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 9 to both sides.

2x - 9 (+9) = 7 (+9)

2x = 7 (+9)

2x = 16

Divide 2 from both sides.

(2x)/2 = (16)/2

x = 16/2

x = 8

8 is your answer.

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.
