Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 30 = 14 - 3x
4x = 44
x = 11
Let's call the unknown number x
Now let's decrease it by 30, that is x-30
Now let's write out "14 decreased by three times the number", that is 14 - 3x
The problem says these are the same, that is x - 30 = 14 - 3x
We now want to isolate, or solve for, x
Move the x to one side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides
3x + x -30 = 14 - 3x + 3x
4x -30 = 14
Now move the 30 to the right hand side by adding 30 to both sides
4x - 30 + 30 = 14 + 30
4x = 44
Now all we have to do to get x is divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 44/4
x = 11

<h3>AP given</h3>

<h3>Solution</h3>
Common difference
<u>Difference of first two</u>
- d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b
<u>Difference of second two</u>
<u>Difference of last two</u>
<u>Now comparing d:</u>
- -2b = ab - (a - b)
- ab - a = - 3b
- a(1 - b) = 3b
- a = 3b/(1 - b)
and
- a/b - ab = -2b
- a(1/b - b) = -2b
- a = 2b²/(b² - 1)
<u>Eliminating a:</u>
- 2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)
- 2b/(b+1) = -3
- 2b = -3b - 3
- 5b = - 3
- b = -3/5
<u>Finding a:</u>
- a = 3b/(1 - b) =
- 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) =
- -9/5*5/8 =
- -9/8
<u>So the first term is:</u>
- a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40
<u>Common difference:</u>
<u>The 6th term:</u>
- a₆ = a₁ + 5d =
- -69/40 + 5*6/5 =
- -69/40 + 240/40 =
- 171/40 = 4 11/40
Answer:
Equation for x: 3x - 6 = 
x = 9
CD = 17
GH = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment formula for a trapezoid is
GH = 
3x - 6 =
6x - 12 = 2x + 24
4x = 36
x = 9
CD = 2x - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17
GH = 3x - 6 = 3(9) - 6 = 3 = 27 - 6 = 21

Answer: w = 31</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
For any triangle, the interior angles always add to 180
(angle1)+(angle2)+(angle3) = 180
(w) + (4w-6) + (w) = 180
(w+4w+w) - 6 = 180
6w - 6 = 180
6w - 6+6 = 180+6 .... adding 6 to both sides
6w = 186
6w/6 = 186/6 ..... divide both sides by 6
w = 31
------------------------------------
Extra info:
This value of w leads to
4w-6 = 4*31-6 = 118
The three angles of the triangle are: 31, 118, 31
Because we have two congruent angles, this means the triangle is isosceles. The sides opposite the congruent angles are the same length.
