What value of x makes this equation true? 12x - 15 = 6 - 3x

12x - 15 = 6 -3x (add 3x to both sides)

15x - 15 =6 (add 15 to both sides)

15x= 21 (divide both sides by 15 to get x alone)

x= 1.4  (the answer)

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.
