4 0

Answer:

6, 10, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ= aₙ₋₁ - (aₙ₋₂ - 4)= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ₋₂ + 4

a₅= -2

a₆= 0

-----------

aₙ₋₂= aₙ₋₁ - aₙ + 4

a₄= a₅- a₆ + 4 = -2 - 0 + 4 = 2
a₃= a₄ - a₅ + 4 = 2 - (-2) + 4 = 8
a₂= a₃ - a₄ + 4 = 8 - 2 + 4 = 10
a₁= a₂ - a₃ + 4 = 10 - 8 + 4 = 6

The first 3 terms: 6, 10 and 8

6.2÷(2x+1)=2 1/3 ÷4<br><br> find x

Norma-Jean [14]

You can look at all the fractions and form the least common multiple of their denominators.

6.2 = 6 1/5 has a denominator of 5

÷ (2x+1) puts (2x+1) in the denominator

2 1/3 has a denominator of 3

÷ 4 puts 4 in the denominator

These denominators have no common factors, so the least common multiple of 5, (2x+1), 3, and 4 is their product: 60(2x+1). Multiply the equation by this value.

$\dfrac{6.2}{(2x+1)}\times 60(2x+1)=\dfrac{2\frac{1}{3}}{4}\times 60(2x+1)\\\\372=35(2x+1)\\\\372=70x+35\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\337=70x\qquad\text{subtract 35}\\\\x=\dfrac{337}{70}\qquad\text{divide by the x coefficient}$

The solution is x = 337/70.

OF bisects EOG. EOF = 5y + 10 and FOG = 6y + 3. Solve for y.

brilliants [131]

So the answer is : 5y + 10 = 6y + 3

  5y - 6y +10 = 3

-y= 3-10

-y= -7 Now you are looking for y not -y so you have to multiply or divide both side by (-1). It will be :

(-1) -y = (-1) -7
So:
Y = 7 Final answer.
