Since E is a midpoint, we can set de and ef equal to each other to find the value of x.

6x = 3x + 6
3x = 6
x = 2

Then we can plug in x=2 and find that both de and ef are 12. Then since E is the midpoint of df, we can add de and ef to find the value of df.

12 + 12 = 24

Garvey's Electronic store is having a storewide sale. For a television set with a regular price of x dollars, a 15 percent disco

ratelena [41]

With the equation:
0.15 x = 30
x = 30 : 0.15 = $200
A regular price of TV is $200.
Which could not be used to determine x ( we shall plug in the value 200 ):
A ) 0.15 * 200 = 200 - 30
30 ≠ 170
B ) 0.85 * 200 = 200 - 30
170 = 170 ( correct )
C ) 200 - 0.15 * 200 = 200 - 30
200 - 30 = 200 - 30
170 = 170 ( correct )
D ) 0.15 * 200 = 30
30 = 30 ( correct )
Answer:
A ) 0.15 x = x - 30

Use mathematical induction to prove that the statement is true for every positive integer n. 8 + 16 + 24 + . . . + 8n = 4n(n + 1

mezya [45]

First show the statement holds for $n=1$ . The left hand side is just 8, and the right hand side is $4(1)(1+1)=8$ , so it's true.

Assume the statement holds for $n=k$ , i.e.

$8+16+\cdots+8(k-1)+8k=4k(k+1)$

and use this to show it holds for $n=k+1$ , i.e.

$8+16+\cdots+8(k-1)+8k+8(k+1)=4(k+1)(k+2)$

By the assumption above, you have

$\underbrace{8+16+\cdots+8(k-1)+8k}_{n=k}+8(k+1)=4k(k+1)+8(k+1)=4(k+1)(k+2)$

so the statement is true for all $n\ge1$ .
