Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

6(5 - 2x) + 12 = -66

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute 6: 30 - 12x + 12 = -66
  2. Combine like terms: 42 - 12x = -66
  3. Subtract 42 on both sides: -12x = -108
  4. Divide both sides by -12: x = 9

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

6(5 - 2(9)) + 12 = -66

6(5 - 18) + 12 = -66

6(-13) + 12 = -66

-78 + 12 = -66

-66 = -66

HURRY 20 POINTS!!!!! Given the geometric sequence an = 6(5)n − 1, which of the following values for n lies in the appropriate do
Lapatulllka [165]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

n = 1

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we have the following Geometric Sequence:

a_{n} = 6(5)^{n-1}

Where:

a=6 \ \text{First term} \\ \\ r=5 \ \text{Common ratio} \\ \\ n: \ \text{Number of terms}

The first term occurs when n=1. Next the second term occurs when n=2, the third term when n=3 and so on. Therefore, the appropriate value of n that lies on the domain for n is n=1

Can someone please help me with this question?
Charra [1.4K]
So what I would do is first multiply the mean by 4 and that is the total u need, 146.5, to have a mean of 36 and 5/8. Next I add the lengths given, which is 110.625, and then I would subtract it from 146.5 which is 35.875 which is 35 and 7/8. You can also check the answer by finding the mean of the 4 numbers and determining if it comes out to 36 and 5/8. The answer is C. Hope this helps!
