Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

1/5 × (x - 2) = 20

First step to solving the equation is

By multiplying both sides by the value of 5.

That will give,

x - 2 = 100

x = 100 + 2

= 102

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using reciprocal method

1/5(x-2)=20

We'll multiply the both sides by the reciprocal of 1/5 which is 5

(1/5)*5(x-2)= 20*5

1(x-2)= 100

X-2 = 100

X= 100+2

X = 102

But note that we multiplied the equation by 5 which is reciprocal of 1/5 as the first step.

What is the iterative rule for the sequence: 10.5, 9, 7.5, 6, 4.5, 3, …?
goblinko [34]
Hello,

Your sequence is arithmetic.

10.5-9=1.5
9-7.5=1.5
7.5-6=1.5
6-4.5=3
4.5-3=1.5
3-1.5=1.5
1.5-1.5=0
...
f(x)=f(n-1)-1.5 is the iterative rule.

f(1)=10.5
f(2)=10.5-1.5=9
f(3)=10.5-2*1.5=7.5
f(4)=10.5-3*1.5=6
...
f(n)=10.5-1.5*(n-1) is the general form.
