(2x - 4)+ ( x + 9)
A. 3x+5
B. x+5
C.3x-13
D. x+9

option A, 3x + 5

first, i rewrote it and removed the parentheses.

2x - 4 + x + 9

then, i collected the like terms.

3x + 5

i will take them

step-by-step explanation:

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.
