Answer:
x = 11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
14.12 =
( 3.6x - 12.8 )
Rewrite so that the equation is entirely in decimals;
14.12 = 0.5( 3.6x - 12.8 )
Distribute;
14.12 = 1.8x - 6.4
Inverse operations;
14.12 = 1.8x - 6.4
+6.4 +6.4
20.52 = 1.8x
/1.8 /1.8
11.4 = x
To solve this, you need to do 1,266-451. that equals 815. then, divide 815 by 19. you should get 43. hope that helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
you cannot just put the actual numbers in and calculate ?
and you can't provide the correct problem statement, as it seems.
I assume you mean
an = 3n² - 1
a sequence starts with a1, so, n>=1
a1 = 3×1² - 1 = 3-1 = 2
a2 = 3×2² -1 = 3×4 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
a3 = 3×3² - 1 = 3×9 - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26
a4 = 3×4² - 1 = 3×16 - 1 = 48 - 1 = 47
a5 = 3×5² - 1 = 3×25 - 1 = 75 - 1 = 74
there, that is all there is to it. you really needed help with that ?

Identity:

So we can rewrite the denominator to get

Multiply numerator and denominator by

. Several terms will cancel since

. Also,

. We get

Factorize the numerator, and write

in terms of

in the denominator to factorize it further to get

The

factors cancel, leaving you with

which you could simplify a bit further by writing
Okie dokie,
When converting a decimal, you use the place the decimal is in...
Let's review the places: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.
You look at the last number to determine what place you're using!
-------------------
Now here's an example for the
tenths place:
.5
it's in the tenths place, right? so put it over that number (with no decimal) over a
10.
(mobile) 5/10 or

Now, decide if you can simplify. You can! 5/10 simplifies down to
1/2.

is your answer!
--------
Example for the
hundredths place:
.26
the last number is in the hundredths place, so put the number (without a decimal) over
100!26/100 or

You can simplify this!
13/50 is your answer!
Calculators can also come in handy!
Good luck!
