The first mistake made in the steps to solve the equation is; Step 3 is incorrect and should be x = 10/8

<h3>How to solve algebraic equations?</h3>

We are given the algebraic expression;

6x - 1 = -2x + 9

Step 1; By addition property of equality, add 2x to both sides to get;

6x - 1 + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9

8x - 1 = 9

Step 2; By addition property of equality, add 1 to both sides to get;

8x - 1 + 1 = 9 + 1

8x = 10

Step 3; By division property of equality, divide both sides by 8 to get;

8x/8 = 10/8

x = 10/8

Step 4; By simplifying the fraction, we have;

x = 5/4

Step 3 shows 8/10 and as such it is the first mistake.

A 25-foot ladder is leaned against a wall. If the base of the ladder is 7 feet from the wall, how high up the wall will the ladd
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

24ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem!!

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

------------------------

In this case, the ladder is c, and the base is b.

------------------------

Plug the numbers in the formula.

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

------------------------

Solve.

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 -49 = 625 - 49

a^2 = 576

\sqrt{a^2} = \sqrt{576}

a = 24

What is the closed linear form for this sequence given a1 = 0.3 and an + 1 = an + 0.75?
german

Answer:

The closed linear form of the given sequence is a_{n}=0.75n-0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the first term a_{1}=0.3 and a_{n+1}=a_{n}+0.75

To find the closed linear form for the given sequence

The formula for arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n - 1)d  (where d is the common difference)

The above equation is of the given form  a_{n+1}=a_{n}+0.75

Comparing this we get d=0.75

With a_{1}=0.3 and d=0.75

We can substitute these values in a_{n}=a_{1}+(n - 1)d

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n - 1)d

=0.3+(n-1)(0.75)

=0.3+0.75n-0.75

=-0.45+0.75n

Rewritting as below

=0.75n-0.45

Therefore a_{n}=0.75n-0.45

Therefore the closed linear form of the given sequence is a_{n}=0.75n-0.45
