I am thinking your answer is 78 students. You do 1/5 times 390. And I think the the part about the dog is just extra information.
Distribute the x3 to each number. The coefficient stays the same but add exponent (3) onto each x. Final answer is: x to the seventh power plus 8X to the sixth power plus 2X to the fifth power +18 X to the fourth power +9x the third power
Negative 5 squared is negative 25
Given equation :−1/2 (x+2) + 112x = 3
We have -1/2 in front of parenthesis on left side .
It's better to remove fraction in an equation, in order make it easier to solve.
In order to remove 2 from denominator of 2, we need to multiply each and every term by 2.
Multiplying each term in the equation by 2, we get
2* −1/2(x+2) +2* 112x = 2*3.
On simplifying this step, we get
-1(x+2) +224x = 6.
Distributing -1 over (x+2), we get
-x -2 +224x = 6
Combining like terms on left side, -x+224x=223x
223x -2 = 6
Adding 2 on both sides, we get
223x -2+2 = 6+2
223x = 8
Dividing both sides by 223, we get
223x/223 = 8/223.
x= 8/223.
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of the arithmetic sequence
a1 = 8
a2 = a1 + 8 = 8+8 = 16
...
an = 8×n
the sum of the first n elements of such a series is
n/2 × (2×a1 + (n - 1)×d]
with d being the difference between 2 consecutive elements (= the added constant).
so,
s30 = 30/2 × (2×8 + 29×8) = 15×(31×8) = 3720
