Solve the equation:
-5|3x+8|-5=-2

x = -2 13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(3x+8)-5=-2

start by multiplying out the 5 to the numbers in the parenthesis.

= -15x-40-5=-2

subtract 5 from -40

=15x-45=-2

add the 45 to itself to get rid of it and add it to -2

=15x=43

divide 43 by 15

=2.8666666666 or -2 13/15

answer: sine

step-by-step explanation:

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

the first term is 6.

the common difference d = ?

when you find d, replace n with 7 and d with the common difference to find your answer.
