Answer:

A) p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

3(p - 5) = 5p -27

Apply the Distributive Property of Multiplication over subtraction law:

⇒ 3 · p - 3 · 5 = 5p - 27

⇒ 3p - 15 = 5p - 27

Add 27 to both sides:

⇒ 3p - 15 + 27 = 5p - 27 + 27

⇒ 3p + 12 = 5p

Subtract 3p from both sides:

⇒ 3p - 3p + 12 = 5p - 3p

⇒ 12 = 2p

⇒ 2p = 12

Divide both sides by 2:

⇒ 2p ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2

⇒ p = 6

30 points!! What is the sum of the first six terms of the series? 48 - 12 + 3 - 0.75 +...

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The sum of the first six terms is 38.39

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since the common difference between each term is $-\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, $r=-\frac{1}{4}$

To find the sum of first six terms, we need to find the fifth and sixth term of the sequence.

To find the fifth term:

The general form of geometric sequence is $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

To find the fifth term, substitute $n=5$ in $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

$\begin{aligned}a_{5} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{4} \\&=(48)\left(\frac{1}{256}\right) \\a_{5} &=0.1875\end{aligned}$

To find the sixth term, substitute $n=6$ in $a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}$

$\begin{aligned}a_{6} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5} \\&=(48)\left(-\frac{1}{1024}\right) \\a_{5} &=-0.046875\end{aligned}$

To find the sum of the first six terms:

The general formula to find Sn for $|r|$ is $S_{n}=\frac{a\left(1-r^{n}\right)}{1-r}$

$\begin{aligned}S_{6} &=\frac{48\left(1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6}\right)}{1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)} \\&=\frac{48\left(1-\frac{1}{4096}\right)}{1+\frac{1}{4096}} \\&=\frac{48(0.95)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{47.9904}{5} \\&=38.39\end{aligned}$

Thus, the sum of first six terms is 38.39

Solve for m. (-11/6) + m = -2/9

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

m = $\frac{29}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

=> (-11/6) + m = -2/9

Adding 11/6 to both sides

=> m = $-\frac{2}{9} + \frac{11}{6}$

LCM = 18

=> m = $\frac{-4+33}{18}$

=> m = $\frac{29}{18}$

What is the final step in solving the inequality –2(5 – 4x) < 6x – 4?Step 1: –10 + 8x < 6x – 4

DanielleElmas [232]

The process of solving the inequality will be: -2(5 - 4x) < 6x - 4 8x - 10 < 6x - 4 -6 < -2x x > 3 This is in accordance to the rule of solving inequalities which states that whenever we multiply or divide by a negative number while solving an inequality, we must reverse the inequality sign. The last option is correct.

An ice-cream parlor donated boxes of ice-cream bars for a school event the organizers need to decide how many ice-cram bars are

mylen [45]

Divide the number of ice-cream bars into the number of people. Example: say you have 20 ice cream bars and 10 people you divide 20/10 and get 2 ice cream bars per person. Hope this helped.
