Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 (8 - x) = (4 (x + 10))/5

Multiply both sides by 5:

-8×5 (8 - x) = (5×4 (x + 10))/5

(5×4 (x + 10))/5 = 5/5×4 (x + 10) = 4 (x + 10):

-8×5 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)

5 (-8) = -40:

-40 (8 - x) = 4 (x + 10)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

40 x - 320 = 4 (x + 10)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

40 x - 320 = 4 x + 40

Subtract 4 x from both sides:

(40 x - 4 x) - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40

40 x - 4 x = 36 x:

36 x - 320 = (4 x - 4 x) + 40

4 x - 4 x = 0:

36 x - 320 = 40

Add 320 to both sides:

36 x + (320 - 320) = 320 + 40

320 - 320 = 0:

36 x = 40 + 320

40 + 320 = 360:

36 x = 360

Divide both sides of 36 x = 360 by 36:

(36 x)/36 = 360/36

36/36 = 1:

x = 360/36

The gcd of 360 and 36 is 36, so 360/36 = (36×10)/(36×1) = 36/36×10 = 10:

Answer: x = 10

A rectangle swimming pool is 8 feet deep. One side of the pool is 4.5 times longer than the other. The amount of water needed fo

wel

The side lengths of the pool 10 ft and 45 ft.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a rectangle swimming pool is 8 feet deep.

One side of the pool is 4.5 times longer than the other.

Let the length of pool be n feet, the width will be 4.5n feet

The amount of water needed for the swimming pool is 3600 cubic ft

We have to find the dimensions of the pool. Now, we know that,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text {volume of pool}=\text {depth} \times \text {length } \times \text {width}} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3600 \text { cubic } f t=8 \text { feet } \times \text { n feet } \times(4.5 n) \text { feet }} \\\\ {\rightarrow 8 n \times 4.5 n=3600} \\\\ {\rightarrow 36 n^{2}=3600} \\\\ {\rightarrow n^{2}=100}\end{array}$

On taking square root on both sides we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow\sqrt{n^{2}}=\sqrt{100}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=10 \mathrm{ft}}\end{array}$

So, the width will be $4.5 n=4.5 \times 10=45 \mathrm{ft}$

Answer: The fourth term is -102

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The term after the nth term is generated by this rule $a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2$ which means that we first
Step 1) multiply the nth term ( $a_n$ ) by -4
Step 2) Add the result of step 1 to the value 2 to get the next term in the sequence

Let's follow those steps above to generate the first four terms

The first term is $a_1 = 2$ . In short, the first term is 2

The second term is...
$a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2$
$a_{1+1} = -4(a_1) + 2$
$a_{2} = -4(2) + 2$
$a_{2} = -8 + 2$
$a_{2} = -6$
So the second term is -6

The third term is...
$a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2$
$a_{2+1} = -4(a_2) + 2$
$a_{3} = -4(-6) + 2$
$a_{3} = 24 + 2$
$a_{3} = 26$
The third term is 26

Finally, the fourth term is...
$a_{n+1} = -4(a_n) + 2$
$a_{3+1} = -4(a_3) + 2$
$a_{4} = -4(26) + 2$
$a_{4} = -104 + 2$
$a_{4} = -102$
The fourth term is -102.
