Answer:

To find out the first three terms of 3n - 2 substitute 1 ,2 and 3 into the equation.

so the three terms a

3(1)-2=1

3(2)-2=6-2=4

3(3)-2=9-2=7

As you can see the sequence goes up in 1,4 and 7.To find out the 10th term you also substitute 10 into the equation so 3(9)-2=18-2=16

so 16 is the tenth term

Hope this helped!

Solve for x. 6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2) x = -8 X = -3 X = 3 x = 8

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$x=-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6\left(x-1\right)=9\left(x+2\right)\\\mathrm{Expand\:}6\left(x-1\right):\quad 6x-6\\6\left(x-1\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac\\a=6,\:b=x,\:c=1\\=6x-6\cdot \:1\\\mathrm{Expand\:}9\left(x+2\right):\quad 9x+18\\9\left(x+2\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac\\a=9,\:b=x,\:c=2\\=9x+9\cdot \:2\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:9\cdot \:2=18\\=9x+18\\6x-6=9x+18\\\mathrm{Add\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$6x-6+6=9x+18+6\\Simplify\\6x=9x+24\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}9x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\6x-9x=9x+24-9x\\Simplify\\-3x=24\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3\\\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}\\Simplify\\\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-3x}{-3}:\quad x\\\frac{-3x}{-3}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{3x}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{3}{3}=1\\=x\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{24}{-3}:\quad -8\\\frac{24}{-3}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\=-\frac{24}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{24}{3}=8\\=-8\\$

What do you do when your mom is crying? probably not the best place to ask but im grounded so i cant ask on any other platform l

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Ask her why she is crying. If she explains why, listen and comfort her. If she says to "go away" or "i don't want to talk about it," give her space and come back later. She needs to let it out, so have patience :)

Hope this helps!!

The interior angles formed by the sides of a pentagon have measures that sum to 540°. What is the measure of angle B?

patriot [66]

Answer:

m∠B = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The sum of the measures of the angles in a pentagon is 540°.

So, we get,

130 + (x-5) + (x+30) + 75 + (x-35) = 540

i.e. 3x + (130+30+75) - (5+35) = 540

i.e. 3x + 235 - 40 = 540

i.e. 3x + 195 = 540

i.e. 3x = 540 - 195

i.e. 3x = 345

i.e. x= 115°

Now, as m∠B = (x-5)° = (115-5)° = 110°

Hence, the measure of angle B is 110°.
