2x + x - 18 = -30 - x

Lets say the number is x. The formula would be:
2x + x - 18 = x -30
To find x, you have to get rid of everything els, so minus x from both sides.
2x - 18 = -30
Since -30 is the smallest number, you get rid of that next. Add 30 to both sides
2x + 12 = 0
Now get rid of +12 by doing -12.
2x = -12
divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
x = -6.

To double check your answer, do the reverse. Substitute -6 iinto the equation wherever it says x.

2x + x - 18 = x -30 becomes (2 x -6) + (-6 - 18) = -6 - 30.
Use BIDMAS (Brackets Indices Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction) to get your answer. Brackets are first
-12 + -24 = -6 - 30
-36 = -6 - 30 which is basically -36 = -36

Which terms could be used as the first term of the expression below to create a polynomial written in standard form? Select five
Alina [70]

Answer:

3r⁴s⁵

- r⁴s⁶

- 6rs⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The expression given is:

+ 8r²s⁴ – 3r³s³

2) The choices given are:

s⁵

3r⁴s⁵

- r⁴s⁶

- 6rs⁵

1) A polynomial written in standard form has the terms ordered in decreasing order.

For example, 4x⁵ + 8x⁴ + 3x² + 27

2) The given polynomial has degree 6: + 8r²s⁴ – 3r³s³, and it can be ordered respect any of the two variables either r or s.

3)  Adding a new term as first term needs to have degree equal or greater than 6.

So, the candidates from the list are: 3r⁴s⁵, - r⁴s⁶,- 6rs⁵

4) If you use 3r⁴s⁵, the polynomial in standard form would be:

3r⁴s⁵ – 3r³s³ + 8r²s⁴ (as you see the degree of r is decreasing from left to right).

5) If you use - r⁴s⁶, the polynomial in standard form would be:

- r⁴s⁶ – 3r³s³ + 8r²s⁴ (as you see, the degree of r decreases from left to right)

6) If you use - 6rs⁵, the polynomial in standard form would be

- 6 rs⁵– 3r³s³ + 8r²s⁴ (as you see the degree of s is decreasing from left to right).

7) You cannot use s⁵ as first term because its degree is less than 6.

IM FAILING MY CLASS PLS HELP ASAP
labwork [276]

Answer:

A) 7 + 4(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit rule follows the form, Tn = a + (n - 1)*(d), where 'a' is the first term and 'd' is the common difference between the numbers

It says that the first term is 7, so 'a' is 7. It also says that the numbers go up by 4 (adding 4 to the previous number), hence 'd' is 4.

Sub these values into the equation:

Tn = 7 + (n - 1)*(4)

Same as: 7 + 4(n - 1)
