Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4a + 6b) = 3*4a + 3*6b = 12a + 18b

-2(7a + b) = -2*7a + (-2)*b = -14a - 2b

$\frac{5[3(4a+6b)-2(7a+b)-b]}{20}=\frac{5[12a+18b-14a-2b-b]}{20}\\\\ \frac{5[-2a+15b]}{20}=\frac{15b-2a}{4}$

x =1/4

X = 1/4 ?

since multiplying fractions is straight across,

1/4 * (15b -2a) would result in the simplification you got.

Some please help and explain the steps. Tysmmmmm

Answer:

since angle B and angle C contains the same arc AD. set the angles equal

11x-3=8x+15

x=6

so the angle has a measure of 63 degrees

the central angle is the angle of the arc

and it is always 2 times the angle that we just that contains the arc but does touches the end of the circle.

so its 63 *2 =126 degrees.

I NEED HELP PLEASE!

The given sequence is x-1, -2x+2, 4x-4, -8x+8 .

Notice that this is a geometric sequence because here we have equal common ratio.

So, common ratio : r = $\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}$

= $\frac{-2x+1}{x-1}$

= $\frac{-2(x-1)}{(x-1)}$ Take out -2 as common factor

= -2 Cancel out x - 1.

The formula for general term of a geometric sequence is,

$a_{n} =a_{1} r^{n-1}$

Where, first term: $a_{1} =x-1$

We need to find the 10th term of this sequence. So, n = 10.

Next step is to plug in these values in the above formula to get the 10th term. Hence,

$a_{10} = (x -1)(-2)^{10-1}$

So, A is the correct choice.
