Write an equation to represent 'twice a number (x) is fifty"

V125BC [204]

Hi there,

Your question is "twice a number (x) is fifty"

Recall how a number is represented by x.

Twice a number would be represented as 2x.

Therefore, to represent that twice a number is equal to 50, that would result in the expression: $2x=50$

If you're looking to solve this equation, it's often best to think about the "reverse" of the current equation.

Notice how 2 is multiplying the x.

To isolate x, divide that side by 2.

However, recall that whatever is done to one side of an equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. Therefore, you will need to divide both sides by 2.

$2x=50$

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{50}{2}$

$x=25$

Equation: $2x=50$

Solving for x: 25

Hope that helps!

Given: <SPT = <RQT, ST = RT Prove: PR = QS

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles PTS and QTR. In these triangles,

$ST=RT$ - given;
$\angle SPT=\angle RQT$ - given;
$\angle STP=\angle RTQ$ - as vertical angles when lines PR and SQ intersect.

Thus, $\triangle PTS\cong \triangle QTR$ by AAS postulate.

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so

$PT=QT$

Consider segments PR and QS:

$PR=PT+TR\ [\text{Segment addition postulate}]\\ \\QS=QT+TS\ [\text{Segment addition postulate}]\\ \\PT=QT\ [\text{Proven}]\\ \\ST=RT\ [\text{Given}]$

So,

$PR=SQ\ [\text{Substitution property}]$

If a₁ = 4 and an = 5an-1 then find the value of a5.

igor_vitrenko [27]

The value of $a_{5}$ is 2500, when $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

Given that, $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

We need to find the value of $a_{5}$ .

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

Now, to find the value of $a_{5}$ :

$a_{2} =5a_{2-1}=5a_{1}=5 \times4=20$
