Hello!

Here's how to solve for x.

27=17+2x

Our first step is to subtract 17 from both sides, leaving us with

27-17=17(-17)+2x --- > 10=2x

We then divide both sides by 2 to isolate  x!

10/2=2x/2

10 divided by 2 gives us 5 meaning that x=5

x = 5
move variable to left side and change its sign
27 = 17 + 2x
to
(you also move the constant to the right and change its sign)
- 2x = 17 - 27
and then calculate the operation in this case you find the difference
- 2x= 17 - 27 =  - 10 \\   - 2x =  - 10
you then divide both sides of the equation by -2 since the inverse operation of multiplying is division
x = 5
:) hope that helps

Spam e-mail containing a virus is sent to 1000 e-mail addresses. After 1 second, a recipient machine broadcasts 10 new spam e-ma
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Spam e-mail containing a virus is sent to 1000 e-mail addresses. After 1 second, a recipient machine broadcasts 10 new spam e-mails containing the same virus, after which the virus disables itself on that machine. (1) Write a recursive definition (i.e. recurrence relation) to show how many spam emails will be sent out after n seconds. (2) Solve the recurrence relation. (3) How many e-mails are sent at the end of 20 seconds

1.START T=0.....

1000 EMAILS SENT AND RECEIVED BY 1000 M/CS.

T=1.....

EACH OF THE M/C SENDS 10 NEW MAILS ....

.................................

LET M[N] BE THE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT OUT AFTER N SECONDS.

SO , EACH OF THESE M/CS WILL SEND 10 MAILS IN NEXT 1 SECOND.

HENCE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT IN N+1 SECONDS=M[N+1]=

M[N+1]=10*M[N].......................1

THIS IS THE RECURRENCE RELATION.....

2.SOLUTION .....

M[N+1]=10M[N]=10*10M[N-1]=10*10*10M[N-2]=........

M(N+1)=[10^1][M(N)]=[10^2][M(N-1)]=[10^3][M(N-2)]=..........=[10^N][M(1)]=[10^(N+1)][M(0)]

M[N+1]=[10^(N+1)][1000]=[10^(N+1)][10^3]=[10^(N+4)]......................................2

THIS IS THE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT AFTER N+1 SECONDS .....OR ....

M[N]=[10^(N+3)].............................................3

..................IS THE SOLUTION FOR NUMBER OF MAILS SENT AFTER N SECONDS.....

3.AFTER N=20 SECONDS , THE ANSWER IS ....

M[20]=10^(20+3)=10^23
