Answer:

p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

2p - 3 = p+2

To Find:

Value of p

Soln:

2p - 3 = p + 2

Subtract p from both sides:

=>2p-3−p = p+2-p

=>p-3 = 2

Add 3 to both sides:

=>p−3+3 = 2+3

=>p = 5

Hence,the value of p would be 5.

We can plug the value we got to the original equation to verify:

=> 2p - 3 = p + 2

p = 5

=> 2(5) -3 = 5 + 2

[Make sure to simplify using PEMDAS]

=> 10 - 3 = 7

=> 7 = 7 [Proved]

Hence,this equation is true.

E:Exponents
M:Multiplication
D:Division
A:Addition
S:Subtraction

Answer:

p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we add 3 to both sides to make :

2p = p + 5

Now we subtract p from both sides :

p = 5

Find a line perpendicular to -5y=-35/2x+10 that goes through point(7,4)

valina [46]

Answer:

y=-2/7x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

first write this in y=mx+b format, y=7/2x−2

then write the perpendicular line, which is the opposite & negative of m

y=−2/7x-2

then remove b

y=−2/7x+b

plug in the numbers

(7,4) y= 4 x=7

4=-2/7*7+b

b is 6

so put the numbers back in

y=-2/7x+6

hope this helps and have a great day

Find the sum of a finite geometric sequence from n = 1 to n = 7, using the expression −4(6)n − 1.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a sum of terms of a gometric sequence:

$S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

a₁ - first term

r - common ratio

We have

$a_n=-4(6)^{n-1}$

Calculate a₁. Put n = 1:

$a_1=-4(6)^{1-1}=-4(6)^0=-4(1)=-4$

Calculate the common ratio:

$r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\\\\a_{n+1}=-4(6)^{n+1-1}=-4(6)^n\\\\r=\dfrac{-4(6)^n}{-4(6)^{n-1}}=6^n:6^{n-1}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n:a^m=a^{n-m}\\\\r=6^{n-(n-1)}=6^{n-n+1}=6^1=6$

$\text{Substitute}\ a_1=-4,\ n=7,\ r=6:\\\\S_7=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-6^7}{1-6}=-4\cdot\dfrac{1-279936}{-5}=-4\cdot\dfrac{-279935}{-5}=(-4)(55987)\\\\S_7=-223948$
