Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x, add/subtract like term.

11 - 4x + 6x - 15 = -14

Here like terms are

-4x and 6x

11, - 15 and -14

11 - 4x + 6x - 15 = -14

2x - 4 = -14

2x = -14 + 4

x = -10 / 2

x = -5

Which is true about the completely simplified difference of the polynomials a3b + 9a2b2 − 4ab5 and a3b − 3a2b2 + ab5? The differ

tamaranim1 [39]

<span>Let be A =a3b +9a2b2-4ab5, and B=a3b-3a2b2+ab5,so the difference can be defined as A - B =a3b +9a2b2-4ab5 -(a3b-3a2b2+ab5), when there is negative sign in front of the parathesis, all the inside signs must change: that is as follow: A- B= a3b +9a2b2-4ab5 - a3b + 3a2b2 - ab5= a3b-a3b +9a2b2+3a2b2-4ab5- ab5= 12a2b2 -5ab5, the fist term has 2+2=4, as a degree,the second term has 1 +5 =6, so the true answer : The difference is a binomial with a degree of 6</span>

Write the six terms of each arithmetic sequencePlease see picture for question

chubhunter [2.5K]

ANSWER

The six terms for the arithmetic sequence is 1.6, 1.2, 0.8. 0.4, 0, -0.4

EXPLANATION

Given that;

$\begin{gathered} a_n\text{ = a}_{n\text{ - 1}}\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_1\text{ = 1.6} \end{gathered}$

To find the second term, let n = 2

$\begin{gathered} \text{ a}_2\text{ }=\text{ a}_{2\text{ - 1}}\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_2\text{ }=\text{ a}_1\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_1\text{ = 1.6} \\ \text{ a}_2\text{ }=\text{ 1.6 - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_2\text{ }=\text{ 1.2} \end{gathered}$

To find the third term, let n = 3

$\begin{gathered} \text{ a}_3\text{ }=\text{ a}_{3\text{ - 1}}\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_3\text{ }=\text{ a}_2\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_2\text{ = 1.2} \\ \text{ a3 }=\text{ 1.2 - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_3\text{ = 0.8} \end{gathered}$

To find the fourth term, let n = 4

$\begin{gathered} \text{ a}_4\text{ }=\text{ a}_{4-\text{ 1}}\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_4\text{ = a}_3\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_3\text{ = 0.8} \\ \text{ a}_4\text{ = 0.8 - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_4\text{ = 0.4} \end{gathered}$

To find the fifth term, let n = 5

$\begin{gathered} \text{ a}_5\text{ = a}_{5\text{ - 1}}\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_5\text{ }=\text{ a}_4\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_4\text{ = 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_5\text{ = 0.4 - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_5\text{ = 0} \end{gathered}$

To find the 6th term, let n = 6

$\begin{gathered} \text{ a}_6\text{ }=\text{ a}_{6\text{ - 1}}\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_6\text{ = a}_5\text{ - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_5\text{ = 0} \\ \text{ a}_6\text{ = 0 - 0.4} \\ \text{ a}_6\text{ = -0.4} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the six terms for the arithmetic sequence is 1.6, 1.2, 0.8. 0.4, 0, -0.4

Maria made 7 2/3 pints of juice. She drank 5/6 pint of the juice and poured 3/4 of the remaining juice equally into 3 bottles. H

Ivahew [28]

First, change 7 2/3 to an improper fraction

7 x 3 = 21 + 2 = 23

23/3 is the amount Maria made

Find a common denominator for all: 24

(23/3)(8/8) = 184/24

(5/6)(4/4) = 20/24

Subtract the amount she drank from the whole

184/24 - 20/24 = 164/24

Find 3/4 of the bottle

(164/24)(3/4) = 5.125

finally, divide the number gotten with 3

5.125/3 = 1.70

1.70 pints were in each bottle.
