PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!! I had trouble with this and it is now over due

Mathematics
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Shira: x = 8

Samuel: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Shira's mistake was that she subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding to on both sides.

Correct Solving:

2x - 2 = 14

Add 2 to both sides;

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2;

x = 8

Samuel's mistake was that when he distributed -2 to 8m and 8 he put the wrong sign for -2 * 8.

Correct Solving:

-2(8m + 8) = -16

Distribute;

-16m - 16 = -16

Add 16 to both sides;

-16m = 0

Divide both sides by -16;

m = 0

The number 2400 is first increased by 30%.The value obtained is next decreased by 20%.Find the final number
kvasek [131]

<em>2400 is increased by 30%.</em>

so,

2400 + (30/100 * 2400)

2400 + (30 * 24)

2400 + 720

3120

<em>this number is decreased by 20%.</em>

so,

3120 - (20/100 * 3120)

3120 - (2 * 312)

3120 - 624

2496

therefore, the final number will be 2496.

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 = 6 and r = 1/3? Express your answer as an improper fracti
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

  S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

  S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

  6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

Choose the four expressions that are equivalent to 3^-4 ?
Ivan

3^(-4) means "one over 3^4"

    1/(3^4)

That's equal to

    1/81

and

    (1/3)^4

This is also equal to 3^2/3^6.  

So four of those are correct.
