So 36% of x is 18
percent is parts out of 100
36%=36/100=0.36
'of' can be translated as muitiply
0.36 times x=18
divide both sdies by .36
x=50
the number is 50
Question : 18 is 50% of what number?
Answer : 36.
How : well if you multiply 18 times 2 the answer is 36. Since 18 is half of 36, being 50%

The infinite series description of trig functions is much neater when the argument is radians. For example, for small angles, sin(x) ≈ x when x is in radians. You could say that radians is the "natural" measurement unit for angles, just as "e" is the "natural" base of logarithms.
If the angle measure were degrees or grads or arcseconds, obnoxious scale factors would show up everywhere.
Add all sides.
5x+2+3x+8+4x-1
Combine like terms
12x+9
Subtract nine to get it on the other side of the equal sign
12x= -9
Divide by twelve
x=-9/12
Simplify
x=-3/4
Plug in x.
Answer:
g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to do this is to try a couple and then see if you can make some sort of equation that follows the rule.
g(1) = - 19
=============
g(2) = g(2 - 1) + 6
g(2) = g(1) + 6
g(2) = -19 + 6
g(2) = -13
=============
g(3) = g(2) + 6
g(3) = -13 + 6
g(3) = - 7
==========
g(4) = g(3) + 6
g(4) = - 7 + 6
g(4) = - 1
==========
g(5) = 5
g(6) =11
===========
Now the hard part. You have to start with - 19
The nth term is g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6
Now see if it works.
g(7) = - 19 + (7 - 1)*6
g(7) = - 19 + 6 * 6
g(7) = -19 + 36
g(7) = 17
Is that correct?
g(7) = g(n - 1) + 6
g(7) = g(6) + 6
g(7) = 11 + 6
g(7) = 17 Seems to be the same as the explicit formula gives.
