Answer:
Simplified: its 63 then to 3² · 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/4x (8 x - 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
write the division as a fraction
1/2x + 3/2x (x - 5 ÷ 2)
factor out 1/2 from the expression.
1/2x(x + 3(x - 5 ÷ 2))
divide the numbers.
1/2x(x + 3(x - 2.5))
distribute 3 through the parentheses.
1/2x(x + 3x - 7.5)
collect like terms.
1/2x(4x - 7.5)
1/2x(4x - 15/2)
factor out 1/2 from the expression.
1/2 x 1/2 x (8 x - 15)
multiply the fractions
= 1/4 x (8x - 15)
or alternative form
= 0.25(8x - 15)
Answer:
a. S = 3n + 2
b. There while be 62 squares.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the first term of this sequence is 5. To figure out the equation, subtract the following term from the previous. Do you see a common difference?
8 - 5 = 3
11 - 8 = 3
14 - 11 = 3
We're seeing a constant difference of 3 (which makes this an arithmetic sequence), but the first term is 5. That mean something is being added to make the first term 5. Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2. This means 2 is being added to every multiple of 3, which leads us to the equation: S = 3n + 2.
To find the 20th term of this sequence, substitute n for 20 and do the operations.
S = 3(20) + 2
<em>Multiply 3 by 20, then add 2.</em>
S = 62
The 20th term will have 62 squares.
