Answer:

a=16

Step-by-step explanation:

10/a=15/24, a≠0

10/a=5/8

80=5a

5a=80

a=16,a≠0

a=16

A = 16. How did I get this? Well, 15/24 is a reducible fraction itself. When reducing the fraction 15/24, we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/8. Now that we have 5/8 as our simplified fraction, the expression is:

10/a = 5/8

Because 10 divided by 2 equals 5, we could multiply 8 by 2 to get what our denominator that is missing would be. 8 x 2 = 16, so a = 16. 10/16 = 15/24.

Your final answer: a = 16

I need to know number 5 just what it says thank you

Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! Time to use the Pythagoras theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 7^2 = x^2

16 + 49 = c^2

65 = c^2

Let's take the square root of both sides to get

c ~ 8.06

What is the value of the 9th term in the following geometric sequence?

earnstyle [38]

Answer: The correct option is (D) 196608.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the 9th term in the following geometric sequence :

3, 12, 48, 192, . . .

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by

$a_n=ar^{n-1}.$

For the given sequence, we have

first term, a = 3 and the common ratio, r is given by

$r=\dfrac{12}{3}=\dfrac{48}{12}=\dfrac{192}{48}=~~.~~.~~.~~=4.$

Therefore, the 9th term of the given sequence will be

$a_9=ar^{9-1}=3\times 4^8=3\times65536=196608.$

Thus, the required 9th term of the given sequence is 196608.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Evaluate the expression below when y = -3.

Rudik [331]

Start with the given equation:
$2y+7$
Substitute known values:
$2(-3)+7$
Evaluate:
$-6+7=1$

Similarly:
$-4y-10$
$-4(-3)-10$
$12-10=2$
