Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dog owners and cat owners be 4x and 5x
4x = 48
x = 48/4
x = 12
Therefore 5x = 5×12
= 60
Answer:
x=17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are congruent, the angles are equal
I≅ P
3x+4 = 72-x
Add x to each side
3x+4+x = 72-x+x
4x+4 = 72
Subtract 4 from each side
4x+4-4 = 72-4
4x= 68
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 68/4
x = 17
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
For algebra always start by rewriting it.
4+x+2-2x=5
Then ask yourself is there any like terms we can combine, and here yes there is. 4 and 2 and x and -2x. Now lets combine them and rewrite.
6-x=5
Now lets get x alone and the quickest way is to subtract 6 to the other side
6-x=5
-6 -6
-x=-1
Now the two negatives cancel out as you would divide both sides by the coefficient -1 to get positive x alone. We can make this easier by just canceling out the negatives.
Your answer is
x=1
Answer:
<h3>The nth term
Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1) or Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1) can be used to find all geometric sequences</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first three terms be a/r, a, ar... where a is the first term and r is the common ratio of the geometric sequence.
If the sum of the first two term is 24, then a/r + a = 24...(1)
and the sum of the first three terms is 26.. then a/r+a+ar = 26...(2)
Substtituting equation 1 into 2 we have;
24+ar = 26
ar = 2
a = 2/r ...(3)
Substituting a = 2/r into equation 1 will give;
(2/r))/r+2/r = 24
2/r²+2/r = 24
(2+2r)/r² = 24
2+2r = 24r²
1+r = 12r²
12r²-r-1 = 0
12r²-4r+3r -1 = 0
4r(3r-1)+1(3r-1) = 0
(4r+1)(3r-1) = 0
r = -1/4 0r 1/3
Since a= 2/r then a = 2/(-1/4)or a = 2/(1/3)
a = -8 or 6
All the geometric sequence can be found by simply knowing the formula for heir nth term. nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as
if r = -1/4 and a = -8
Tn = -8(-1/4)^(n-1)
if r = 1/3 and a = 6
Tn = 6(1/3)^(n-1)
The nth term of the sequence above can be used to find all the geometric sequence where n is the number of terms
