Answer:

I'm kind of confused what the question is asking. If they are asking for an expression to represent JL then the answer is 14x -32. If they want to know the distance between J and L then the answer is 66

Step-by-step explanation:

First I set the 2 equations equal to each other (5x-2 = 9x -30) and solved this to get x =7. (ANSWER ONE)

Next I plugged 7 into one of the equations (in this case either one will work bc JK and KL are the same distance. so I plugged 7 into the first one ( 5(7) -2 ) and I got 33. This means the distance of JK (and KL since they are equal) is 33.

Next I multiplied 33 by 2 since JL is JK and KL combined ( JK and KL are both 33 and therefore adding them together (multiplying 33×2) will give you the length of JL) and I got 66 (ANSWER 2)

Sorry if this is super confusing

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a1 = 2 and r = 4.

zavuch27 [327]

We are given with
a1 = 2
r = 4

These are components of a geometric series. The first term is 2 and the common ratio is 4. To get the first six terms, we use the formula:
an = a1 r^(n-1)
a1 = 2 (4)^(1-1) = 2
a2 = 2 (4)^(2-1) = 8
a3 = 2 (4)^(3-1) = 32
a4 = 2 (4)^(4-1) = 128
a5 = 2 (4)^(5-1) = 512
a6 = 2 (4)^(6-1) = 2048

Find the point that lies on the line described by the equation below. y - 8 = - 3 (x-6)

ohaa [14]

Answer:

B. (6, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, you can plug in the coordinates to see if you get matching answers. Since you believe answer "B," is correct, we can check:

y - 8 = -3(x - 6)

8 - 8 = -3(6 - 6)

0 = -3(0)
