First, we can simplify the left side. (6+8x)/2 is equal to 3 + 4x. We can put the equation together at this point.
3 + 4x = 5x
we can subtract 4x from both sides to get our final answer,
3 = x, or x = 3. :)
An explicit formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of any term in the sequence. A recursive formula for a sequence allows you to find the value of the nth term in the sequence if you know the value of the (n-1)th term in the sequence.
Evans finishes 42 laps in 96,6 mins and Loza finished 38 laps in 102,6 mins
Evans. 96,6÷42= 2,30 mins
Loza . 102,6÷38= 2,70 mins
2,70 mins - 2,30 mins
= 40 secs and Evan is faster with 40secs in each lap.
Answer
Find out the what was the price of the stereo .
To prove
Let us assume that the price of the stereo be x .
As given
Consumer Math The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%.
7% is written in the decimal form

= 0.07
As given
Amanda paid $35 in sales tax on a new stereo .
Than the equation becomes
x × 0.07 = 35

solving the above
x = $ 500
Therefore the price of the stereo is $ 500 .
Hence proved
