\text{Hey there!}

\text{The formula for distributing is: a(b +  c) = a(b) + a(c) = ab + ac}

\text{-2(x + 3)= 10}\\\text{Distribute: -2(x) + (-2)(3) = -2x - 6}\\\text{Your new equation: -2x - 6 = 10}\\\text{The opposite of subtraction is addition so add by 6 on your sides.}\\\text{-2x - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6}\\\text{Cancel out: -6 + 6 because it equals to 0}\\\text{Keep: 10 + 6 because it helps us solve for our x-value}\\\text{10 + 6 = 16}

\text{New equation: -2x = 16}\\\text{Divide by -2 on your sides}\\\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{16}{-2}\\\text{Cancel out:}\dfrac{-2x}{2}\text{ because it equals 1}\\\text{Keep:}\dfrac{16}{-2}\text{ because it helps us solve for the x-value}

x= \dffrac{16}{-2} \rightarrow16\div=2 =8\div-1\rightarrow-8

\boxed{\boxed{\bf{x = -8}}}\checkmark

\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}

-2x - 3 = 10 Distribute -2 to (x+3)

-2x = 7 Add 3 on both sides to __ isolate x

-2x/-2 = 7/-2 Divide -2 on both _ sides to isolate x

x = -3.5

How much must be added to each of the three numbers 1, 11, and 23 so that together they form a geometric progression?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be unknown number which should be added to numbers 1, 11, 23 to get geometric progression. Then numbers 1 + x, 11 + x, 23 + x are first three terms of geometric progression.

Hence,

b_1=1+x\\ \\b_2=11+x\\ \\b_3=23+x

and

b_2=b_1\cdot q\Rightarrow 11+x=(1+x)q\\ \\b_3=b_2\cdot q\Rightarrow 23+x=(11+x)q

Express q:

q=\dfrac{11+x}{1+x}=\dfrac{23+x}{11+x}

Solve this equation. Cross multiply:

(11+x)^2=(1+x)(23+x)\\ \\121+22x+x^2=23+x+23x+x^2\\ \\121+22x=23+24x\\ \\22x-24x=23-121\\ \\-2x=-98\\ \\2x=98\\ \\x=49
