The formula for arithmetic sequence is given by:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
an=nth term
a=first term
n=number of terms
thus our first term will be:
a1=8
a2=8+(2-1)(-6)=2
a3=8+(3-1)(-6)=-4
a4=8+(4-1)(-6)=-10
a5=8+(5-1)(-6)=-16
a5=-16
thus the sequence will be:
8,2,-4,-10,-16...

Please help meeee ………..

Len [333]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equality of bases property says powers of the same base will be equal if and only if the powers are equal. This property is used to solve exponential equations.

<h3>Application</h3>

$\dfrac{(2)^x}{2}=16\qquad\text{copy of the original equation}\\\\2\times\dfrac{(2)^x}{2}=2\times16\qquad\text{multiply by 2 to isolate the base}\\\\2^x=32\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\2^x=2^5\qquad\text{rewrite the constant as a power of 2}\\\\\boxed{x=5}\qquad\text{use the Equality of Bases Property}$

<em>Additional comment</em>

Equating the exponents is fully equivalent to taking the logarithm of both sides of the equation, to that base.

$\log_2(2^x)=\log_2(2^5)\ \Longrightarrow\ x=5$

Lf 7 + 3x = 22. then 2x = ?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

2x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + 3x = 22

-7 -7

Subtract 7 from both sides (you are trying to get the variable alone, and to do that, you have to get every other number to 0. <em>7 - 7 = 0</em>. BUT, whatever you do, you have to do to both sides.)

3x = 15

/3 /3

Divide both sides by three to get the variable alone.

x = 5

Now, plug in the value of x to the second equation and solve.

2(5) = ? --> 10
