1) 15 = 2W - 5
2) 24 = 2x - 9

9514 1404 393

  1) W = 10

  2) x = 33/2

Step-by-step explanation:

These are 2-step linear equations. Step 1: Add the opposite of the constant on the right. Step 2: Divide by the coefficient of the variable.

__

1) 15 = 2W -5

  20 = 2W . . . . . add +5

  10 = W . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

2) 24 = 2x -9

  33 = 2x . . . . . add +9

  33/2 = x . . . . divide by 2

As always, whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side. That is, the same number is added to both sides; both sides are divided by the same number.

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.
