Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x-6=5(x+2)

x-6=5x+10

A frog sits at one end of a table which is 2m long. In its first jump the frog goes a distance of 1m along the table, with its s

Ah, this is an infinite sum question, or a sum of geometric sequence
when will the sum reach 1cm of the edge or about 1.99m
so

2m=200cm
within 1cm means at least 1.99m
so
we will use m and not cm for consitancy

sum of geometric sequence is
$S_n= \frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}$
a1=first term=initial jjump=1
r=common ratio=1/2
n=?, we ar solving for that

so
we want it to equal 1.99 so

$1.99= \frac{1(1- (\frac{1}{2})^n)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}$
$1.99= \frac{(1- (\frac{1}{2})^n)}{\frac{1}{2}}$
$1.99= 2(1- (\frac{1}{2})^n)$
divide both sides by 2
$\frac{1.99}{2} = 1- (\frac{1}{2})^n$
times -1
$\frac{-1.99}{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^n-1$
add 1 or 2/2 to both sides
$\frac{0.01}{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^n$
take the ln of both sides
$ln(\frac{0.01}{2}) = ln((\frac{1}{2})^n)$
$ln(\frac{0.01}{2}) = n ln(\frac{1}{2})$
divide both sides by ln(1/2)
$\frac{ln(\frac{0.01}{2})}{ln(\frac{1}{2})} =n$
use your calculatro to find that n≈7.64386
so on 7th jump, it is not yet at 1cm to the edge but at 8th jump, it is past
so 8th jump

Find the difference between the result of one sixth of product of 10 and 3 multiplied by 4 and 30

kherson [118]

Answer:

10 or -10,

Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this problem as a numerical expression. As per the wording of this problem, there can be two expressions derived.

1. $((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30$

2. $30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)$

Simplify, remember the order of operations. The order of operations is the sequence by which one is supposed to perform operations in a numerical expression. This order is the following:

1. Parenthesis

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication or division

4. Addition or Subtraction

Use this sequence when simplifying and solving the expression:

Expression 1

$((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30\\\\=((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)-30\\\\=(5*4)-30\\\\=20 - 30\\\\= -10$
