Let unknown number be x.

3x - 8 = 5x + 10

-2x = 18

x = -9

For the following pair of lines, identify the system by type.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Inconsistent

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equation is said to be inconsistent if the lines are parallel or the system of equations have no solution.

From the given graphs of lines, we can say that the lines are parallel to each other. Hence, the graphs never intersect.

Since, the lines are parallel hence, we can say that there would be no solution for the system of equations.

Therefore, the system is inconsistent.

Hence, third option is the correct option.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(6) = -3 * 6 + 10 = -18 + 10 = -8

g(f(6)) = g(-8)

g(-8) = $(-8)^{2} + 3 * (-8) - 12$ = 64 - 24 - 12 = 64 - 36 = 28

20 PTS What is the sixth term of the sequence shown in the table? Term Value 1 –46,656 2 7,776 3 –1,296 4 216 5 6 {SEE IMAGE}

olganol [36]

Answer:

a₆ = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

r = $\frac{216}{-1296}$ = $\frac{-1296}{7776}$ = $\frac{7776}{-46656}$ = - $\frac{1}{6}$

This indicates the sequence is geometric.

To obtain any term in the sequence, multiply the previous term by r, thus

a₅ = 216 × - $\frac{1}{6}$ = - 36

a₆ = - 36 × - $\frac{1}{6}$ = 6
