Answer:

20,176,803

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric series has a first term of 3 and a common ratio of 21/3 = 7. The formula for the sum of n terms of a series with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For a1=3, n=9, and r=7, the sum is ...

S9 = 3·(7^9 -1)/(7 -1) = 3·40353606/6 = 20,176,803

The sum of the first 9 terms is 20,176,803.

_____

The first 9 terms are ...

3 +21 +147 +1029 +7203 +

50,421 +352,947 +2,470,629 +17,294,403

14.12 = 1/2 (3.6x - 12.8)<br><br> show work

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x = 11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

14.12 = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( 3.6x - 12.8 )

Rewrite so that the equation is entirely in decimals;

14.12 = 0.5( 3.6x - 12.8 )

Distribute;

14.12 = 1.8x - 6.4

Inverse operations;

14.12 = 1.8x - 6.4

+6.4 +6.4

20.52 = 1.8x

/1.8 /1.8

11.4 = x

Find the lcm of 2.5, 1.0 and 70

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 = 5 * .5

1 = 1

70 = 2 * 5 * 7

LCM = 2 * 5 * 7

If you include the 1/2, you will reduce the LCM to 35, but 70 will be left out of the LCM.

The value of varies directly with . If = 4, then = 12. What is the value of when = 6?

kodGreya [7K]

Write the correct equation. Direct variation problems are solved using the equation y = kx. When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables other than x and y, you should use variables that are relevant to the problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there are any other changes in the direct variation equation, such as squares, cubes, or square roots.
