1/2(8x-4)-3x+20=3x+38

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Solving equations you always want to get the variable by itself

First distribute 1/2 to 8x-4 ( divide 8x-4 in half to get 4x-2)

Your equation is now 4x-2-3x+20=3x+38

Lets combine like terms on both sides

4x-3x-2+20=3x+38 (4x-3x=x) (-2+20=18)

x+18=3x+38 now lets get x on one side

x=3x+20 (minus 18 from each side, 18-18=0, 38-18=20)

-2x=20 (minus 3x from each side, 3x-3x=0, x-3x=-2x)

x=-10 (divide each side by -2, -2/-2=1, 20/-2=-10)

Your final answer is x=-10

Hope this helps ;)

I need to find the 9th term of this sequence
Sindrei [870]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  26,244

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is geometric with a common ratio of -3. The general term is ...

  an = (a1)r^(n-1)

The first term is 4, so we have ...

  an = 4·(-3)^(n-1)

For n=9, we find the 9th term to be ...

  a9 = 4·(-3)^(9-1) = 4·3^8

  a9 = 26,244

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When -3 is raised to an even power, the sign of the product is positive, the same as 3 raised to that power.

These are right triangles that will use either sin, cos, or tan, depending upon what you have to work with in regards to the reference angle. The first one has a reference angle of 51 with y being the side opposite it and 12 being the hypotenuse. The sin identity uses the side opposite over the hypotenuse as its formula:
sin(51)= \frac{y}{12}
and 12 sin(51) = y and y = 9.325
The second one has the reference angle as the unknown. You could use any of the identities here because you have all the sides of the triangle, but I will use sin again:
sin \beta = \frac{12}{13}
and sin \beta =.9230769
and sin ^{-1}(.9230769)=67.38
The next one has a referece angle of 13 with 24 being the side adjacent to it and the unknown being the side across from it.  You will use the tangent identity here:
tan(13)= \frac{x}{24}
and 24 tan(13) = x so x = 5.540
The last one has a reference angle of 20 with the hypotenuse as the unknown x, and the side across from it as 10. Use the sin identity again:
sin(20)= \frac{10}{x} and
x sin(20)=10 and
x= \frac{10}{sin(20)} with x = 29.238
Everything is in regards to the reference angle; you HAVE to be able to identify the reference angle and then how the given sides are related to it.
