"of" means multiply and "is" means equal
1. x = 14
x = 14(3) <em>multiply both sides by 3 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 42
2. x = 14
x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 70
3. x = 14
2x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 </em>
2x = 70
x = 35 <em>divide both sides by 2 to isolate "x"</em>
4. x = 14
7x = 14(8) <em>multiply both sides by 8 </em>
7x = 112
x = 16 <em>divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"</em>
Answers: 42, 70, 35, 16
Answer:
About $1,178,974
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, the sequence we have right now is:
500,000 550,000 605,000
We want to find the common ratio, so let's divide 550,000 by 500,000 and see if we get the same value as 605,000 divided by 550,000:
550,000/500,000 = 1.1
605,000/550,000 = 1.1
Now, we know that r = 1.1. We also know the first term is: = 500,000.
We use the explicit rule of a geometric sequence:
Here, we want to find , which means that n = 10. We know r and
, so we just plug in these values:
≈
≈
Thus, the answer is about $1,178,974.
Hope this helps!
