Hi! :)

Answer:

$\boxed{x=16}$

*The answer must have a POSITIVE sign!*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add by 18 from both sides of an equation.

$x-18+18=-2+18$

Then, simplify.

$18-2=16$

Final answer is →→→→→→→ $\boxed{X=16}$

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

The second term in a geometric sequence is 12. The fourth term in the same sequence is 4/3. What is the common ratio in this seq

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The common ratio in the sequence is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

?, 12, ?, 4/3

12 * 1/9 = 4/3

The 1/9 is divided across two spaces.

1/9 = x²

x = 1/3

12 * 1/3 = 4

4 * 1/3 = 4/3

Eighty-seven decreased by three times a number is greater than one hundred sixty-five

fenix001 [56]

This is the concept of algebra, we are required to find a number,x, such that 87 decreased by three times a number is great than one hundred and sixty-five.

Supposed the number is x, three times the number will be:
3*x=3x
thus;
87-3x≥165
-3x≥165-87
-3x≥78
dividing both sides by -3 we get:
(-3x)/(-3x)≥78/(-3)
x≤-26
This implies that the number is less than or equal to 26

When deriving the quadratic formula by completing the square, what expression can be added to both sides of the equation to crea

____ [38]

Answer:

According to steps 2 and 4. The second-order polynomial must be added by $-c$ and $b^{2}$ to create a perfect square trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider a second-order polynomial of the form $a\cdot x^{2} + b\cdot x + c = 0$ , $\forall \,x \in\mathbb{R}$ . The procedure is presented below:

1) $a\cdot x^{2} + b\cdot x + c = 0$ (Given)

2) $a\cdot x^{2} + b \cdot x = -c$ (Compatibility with addition/Existence of additive inverse/Modulative property)

3) $4\cdot a^{2}\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot a \cdot b \cdot x = -4\cdot a \cdot c$ (Compatibility with multiplication)

4) $4\cdot a^{2}\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot a \cdot b \cdot x + b^{2} = b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot c$ (Compatibility with addition/Existence of additive inverse/Modulative property)

5) $(2\cdot a \cdot x + b)^{2} = b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot c$ (Perfect square trinomial)

According to steps 2 and 4. The second-order polynomial must be added by $-c$ and $b^{2}$ to create a perfect square trinomial.
