Read the following. “if 5 is decreased from double joe’s weight, the result is 230. what is joe’s weight? ” which of the following translations is correct?

hi Kasha's

Step-by-step explanation:

we add the five to 460 then devide by 2

117.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe's weight = x

Double Joe's weight = 2x

Five decreased from double Joe's weight = 2x-5

2x-5 = 230

We put like terms together,

2x-5+5 =230+5

2x =235

2x/2=235/2

x=117.5

Check your

2x-5=230 (where x is 117.5)

2(117.5) - 5 =230

235-5 =230

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.
