Let the actor's initial weight be 'x'
He is then gaining 20 pounds. The clue is in the word 'gaining' as it means 'increasing' or in Mathematics can be related as 'plus'
The expression is: x+20
He then loses 15 pounds. The clue is in the word 'losses' as it means 15 pounds is to be subtracted from the last value
Last value is x + 20
The weight now is x + 20 - 15 = x + 5
Answer: it's 6x + 8 if you solve it
Answer:
x=49
Step-by-step explanation:
2(3x+1)=3(2−x)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(3x+1)=3(2−x)
(2)(3x)+(2)(1)=(3)(2)+(3)(−x)(Distribute)
6x+2=6+−3x
6x+2=−3x+6
Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.
6x+2+3x=−3x+6+3x
9x+2=6
Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.
9x+2−2=6−2
9x=4
Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.
9x9=49
x=49
Answer:
<em>y=-6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Geometric Sequences</em>
Any given sequence is said to be geometric if each term 
can be obtained as the previous term 
by a constant value called the common ratio.
or equivalently
Looking closely at the sequence 2, y, 18,-54, 162 we can try to find out if it's a geometric sequence or not. We compute the possible common ratios
and we see they both result -3. If we use r=-3 and try to find the second term (y), then
y=2*(-3)=-6
Now we compute the third term: (-6)(-3)=18
Since we got the third term as given in the original sequence.
So y=-6
