3x+9x+9=3-37.
3x+9x=12x+9
3-37=-34
12x+9=-34
Cancel 9 out
12x=-43
Divide by 12
X=-3.5

Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

f(x+1) = -3/4 × f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, the sign of the numbers in the sequence is alternating. so, there must be a "-" involved.

that eliminates the first and third answer options.

and the absolute values of the numbers in the sequence are going down. |f(x+1)| < |f(x)|

that eliminates the fourth answer option, as this says that

|f(x)| < |f(x+1)|. and that is the opposite of how the actual sequence behaves.

In need of some help please.

Hatshy [7]

By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48

The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

_____
7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.

When rolling a die, what is the probability of rolling a 1 or a 4 write your answer in a fraction?

Andrej [43]

Answer:

$1/3$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 values on a die, and we want 2 values. The fraction now is $2/6$ . But, wait! We can simplify this fraction: $1/3$ .

Side note:

I understand if you wanted just the $2/6$ fraction and not simplified.

Cameron is older than Hassan. Their ages are consecutive integers. Find Cameron's

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So consecutive integers, just means they're separated by a value of 1. This can be generally expressed as "a, a+1" where these two values would be consecutive integers assuming "a" is an integer.

So let's express Hassan's age as the variable "x", since it's unknown. Since Cameron is older, and by definition of a consecutive integer, Cameron's can be expressed as "x+1"

So the equation we need to set up is Cameron's age + 5(Hassan's age) = 145

So we can substitute the variables we defined to express Cameron and Hassan's age: $(x+1) + 5(x) = 145$

Distribute the 5: $x+1+5x$

Add like terms: $6x+1 = 145$

Subtract 1 from both sides: $6x=144$

Divide both sides by 6: $x=24$

Since we used "x" to represent Hassan's age, Hassan's age is 24. Since we used "x+1" to represent Cameron's age, Cameron's age is "24+1" which is just 25

Work out cube root of 512 : reciprocal of 0.4. Give your answer in the form n : 1

galben [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks, so cube root of 512 is 8 and reciprocal of 0.4 is 2.5 then:

8 : 2.5 / divide both by 2.5 to get:

3.2 : 1 that's my answer right?
