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

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128
Alja [10]
The first term, a, is 2.  The common ratio, r, is 4.  Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check:  What's the first term?  Let n=1.  Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8.  Is that correct?  No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1).  Is this correct?    Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2?      2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2.  YES.

The desired explicit formula is   a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
