x=5

2 (3x + 60) = 155 − x

that can be rewritten as

6x + x = 155 - 120

7x = 35

The solution is

x = 5

In the geometric progression 1, 2, 4… what term is 512?

Levart [38]

The next term is double the previous term, so that the $n$ -th term is given recursively by

$\begin{cases}a_1=1\\a_n=2a_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}$

This rule tells us that

$a_2=2a_1$

$a_3=2a_2=2^2a_1$

$a_4=2a_3=2^3a_1$

and so on, with the explicit rule

$a_n=2^{n-1}a_1=2^{n-1}$

for $n\ge1$ .

If 512 is the $k$ -th term in the sequence, then

$512=2^{k-1}\implies\log_2512=\log_22^9=\log_22^{k-1}\implies9=k-1\implies k=10$

The measure of the exterior angle of the triangle is what degree?

RSB [31]

Answer:

92°

Step-by-step explanation:

By exterior angle theorem:

$(2x - 2) \degree = x \degree + 45 \degree \\ \\ (2x - 2 - x) \degree = 45 \degree \\ \\ (x - 2) \degree = 45 \degree \\ \\ (x - 2) = 45 \\ \\ x = 45 + 2 \\ \\ x = 47 \\ \\ (2x - 2) \degree = (2 \times 47 - 2)\degree \\ \\ (2x - 2) \degree = (94 - 2)\degree \\ \\ (2x - 2) \degree = 92\degree \\ \\ measure \: of \: the \: exterior \: angle \\ = 92 \degree$
