Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.

$\frac{x+8}{10}=\frac{2x-5}{14}$

To solve for x, cross multiply:

(x+8)(14) = (10)(2x-5)

14x + 112 = 20x -50

112 = 6x - 50

162 = 6x

27 = x

Finding terms of an arithmetic sequence with a recursive formula <br><br>a1 =12 an= an-1+7

Basile [38]

Hey there!!

Recursive formula :

... a( n ) = a ( n - 1 ) + 7

The first term is 12

To find the second term, we will need to substitute 2 in place of ' n '

2 term :

... a( 2 ) = a ( 2 - 1 ) + 7

... a( 2 ) = a( 1 ) + 7

We know a( 1 ) = 12

... a( 2 ) = 12 + 7

... 19 is the second term and we will need to use this to find the other terms.

Hope my answer helps!

Malachi bought a new fishing rod. The regular price of the fishing rod was $125.99. He bought it on sale with a 15% discount. Sa

Volgvan

If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%

125.99 * 85%

125.99 * .85 = 107.09 is the price he pays for the rod

107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax

107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
