Three-eighths of the sum of sixteen times a number and twenty-four. How do you set this up?

If you break it up:

Three-eighths = 3/8

Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.

Twenty Four = 24

The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24

We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:

Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.

I have some geometric sequence questions, will give 5 points for every answer and will give Brainliest!
kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) since the sixth term is 3 and the fifth term 24, the common ratio would be 3/24 = 1/8

The formula for finding the nth term of a geometric sequence is

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

If t6 = 3,r = 1/8, then

3 = a × 1/8^(6 - 1) = a × (1/8)^5

a = 3/(0.125)^5 = 98304

The first term is 98304.

Second term is 98304 × 1/8 = 12288

Third term is 12288 × 1/8 = 1536

Third term is 1536 × 1/8 = 192

2) t1 = 4

t2 = - 3t(2- 1) = - 3t1 = - 3 × 4 = - 12

t3 = - 3t(3- 1) = - 3t2 = - 3 × - 12 = 36

t4 = - 3t(4- 1) = - 3t3 = - 3 × 36 = - 108

3) let the numbers be t2,t3 and t4

The sequence becomes

1/2, t2,t3, t4,8

The formula for finding the nth term of a geometric sequence is

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

8 = 1/2 × r^(5 - 1)

8 = 1/2 × r^4

16 = r^4

2^4 = r^4

r = 2

t2 = 1/2 × 2 = 1

t3 = 1 × 2 = 2

t4 = 2 × 2 = 4

Is y = -x + 5 non-linear or linear
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

It's linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations have no exponents higher than a 1, which is the case for this equation cause if there's no exponent it's cause it's just a 1. Non-linear has a exponent higher than a 1, ex. x^{2}

What is this simplified? Please help
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The end result is -1/(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.

x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)

Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.

(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)

Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.

-1/(x + 1)

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

f(x)=19x - 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

I am a high schooler as well and was working on this problem as well. I can't say I'm right or wrong because I didn't have a grade on it yet. I believe the answer is f(x)=19x - 7x. The Lines don't have a given value, so I chose the values 12 for Line A and 7 for Line B. I believe the answer is this because Line A would produce 12 bags each day and 3 of them would not be useable, leaving you with 9. Line B would produce 7 and 4 of them would be unusable, leaving you with 3. Line A produces 9 per day while Line B produces 3, and that would check off the part that says, "Line A produces 3 times as many bags as Line B each day." Throughout the problem, it talks about how many bags can each line produces each day, and the sentence talks about that specifically as well. So, the function must be about the amount of bags produced per day. x would represent the number of days that the Lines have been working. 19 is the total amount of bags that was produced in a day. 7 represents the total amount of bags that are unusable. Though I may be wrong, I hope this might help you come to a conculsion of your own.
