Answer:

x = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides </u>

7x − 12 - 5x = 5x + 17 - 5x

2x - 12 = 17

<u>Step 2: Add 12 to both sides </u>

2x - 12 + 12 = 17 + 12

2x = 29

<u>Step 3: Divide both sides by 2 </u>

2x / 2 = 29 / 2

<em>x = 14.5 </em>

Answer: x = 14.5

Answer:

$x=14.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

$7x- 12 = 5x + 17$

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants terms to the other side.

Subtracting ' $5x$ ' both the sides

$7x-12-5x=5x+17-5x\\\\7x-5x-12=17\\\\2x-12=17$

Adding '12' both the sides

$2x-12+12=17+12\\\\2x=29\\\\x=29/2$

$x=14.5$

in a AP the first term is 8,nth term is 33 and sum to first n terms is 123.Find n and common difference

allsm [11]

I believe there is no such AP...

Recursively, this sequence is supposed to be given by

$\begin{cases}a_1=8\\a_k=a_{k-1}+d&\text{for }k>1\end{cases}$

so that

$a_k=a_{k-1}+d=a_{k-2}+2d=\cdots=a_1+(k-1)d$

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

$33=8+(n-1)d$

$21=(n-1)d$

$n$ has to be an integer, which means there are 4 possible cases.

Case 1: $n-1=1$ and $d=21$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^2(8+21(k-1))=37\neq123$

Case 2: $n-1=21$ and $d=1$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{22}(8+1(k-1))=407\neq123$

Case 3: $n-1=3$ and $d=7$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^4(8+7(k-1))=74\neq123$

Case 4: $n-1=7$ and $d=3$ . But

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^8(8+3(k-1))=148\neq123$
