If 3 times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number? A. 5 B. 2 C. –6 D. 4

1 answer:

4 0

3x - 2 = 13

Add 2 on both sides

3x - 2 + 2 = 13 + 2
3x = 13 + 2
3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 15/3

x = 5

Your final answer is A. 5.

Find the common ratio and the next term for the sequence shown. Express your answers as fractions or as decimals.

Cerrena [4.2K]

The common ratio of the sequence is calculated by dividing the second term by the first term or dividing the third term by the second term. That is,
r = 250 / 333 = 0.75
or r = 187 / 250 = 0.748 = 0.75
To get the next term, we multiply 187 by 0.75 giving us an answer of 140.25 or 141.
