Answer:

  x = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears the drawing is showing two representations for the distance LK. Of course, they both have the same value.

  10 = LK = x+25

Subtracting 25 from the equation, we have ...

  -15 = x

(This value of x makes KJ = (2(-15)+27) = -3, a nonsense value.)

_____

Alternate (more sensible) interpretation

If the bottom line is intended to represent LJ, then we have ...

  10 +(2x+27) = (x +25) . . . . LK +KJ = LJ

  x +37 = 25 . . . . subtract x

  x = -12 . . . . . . .  subtract 37

With this value of x, the length of KJ is 2(-12)+27 = 3, and the overall length LJ is (-12)+25 = 13. This is consistent: LK=10, KJ = 3, LJ = 13.

Find the fifth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = tn-1 + 4.

A) 5
B) 7
C) 19
D) 23

Answers

We have given t_(1)=3 and t_(n) =  t_(n-1) + 4. Fifth term is t_(5)= t_(4)+4. It means we need to find t_(4) and in order to find the latter, we have to find t_(4)= t_(3)+4, t_(3)= t_(2)+4 and t_(2)= t_(1)+4 . Since we know the value of  t_(1), beginning from the last equation we can find the value of  t_(5). We can write that t_(2)= t_(1)+4=3+4=7, t_(3)= t_(2)+4=7+4=11 and t_(4)= t_(3)+4=11+4=15. Since t_(5)= t_(4)+4, then t_(5)= 15+4=19
