To solve the equation, Lorie applies the distributive property, combines like terms, then applies the addition and subtraction properties of equality to isolate the variable term on one side of the equation and the constant term on the other side. What are the possible coefficients of x after Lorie has completed these steps?

10 (one-half x + 2) minus 5 = 3 (x minus 6) + 1

Answers
A-32 and 2
B-2 and 32
C-2 and 2
D-52 and 32

C-2 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

After simplifying it a couple times, i found out that the coefficients can either be 2 or -2. Steps are long, so just sole for x and you will understand what i mean.

Hope it helps!

3.how is solving radical equations different than solving linear equations?

step-by-step explanation:

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
