Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

<u>10</u><span>  = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2       2    we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18      =       18</span>

Can someone help me and explain this Algebra 2?
Tju [1.3M]
Nth term of gp = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r), where n∞ = 10, n = ∞, a = 2, r < 1
10 = 2(1 - r^∞)/(1 - r)
10 = 2/(1 - r)
1 - r = 2/10 = 1/5
r = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5
An infinite deometric series with a beginning value of 2 that converges to 10 has common ratio of 4/5.

The first four terms are: 2, 1.6, 1.28, 1.024
