Describe and correct any error a student may have made when solving the equation 0.15(y -0.2)=2-0.5(1-y).

The student made an error during the distributive property in the second step where they multiplied 0.15 by -0.2 to equal -0.3 when it should have been -0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
