Find the value of y so that y + 3, 4y + 1, 8y - 3 is an arithmetic progression.
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
E. 6

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d in an arithmetic sequence is

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , substitute values

4y + 1 - (y + 3) = 8y - 3 - (4y + 1) ← distribute both sides and simplify

4y + 1 - y - 3 = 8y - 3 - 4y - 1

3y - 2 = 4y - 4 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

- 2 = y - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

2 = y → A

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
