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.

What is the range of g(x) = - 2x + 3, if the domain is {-2, - 1,0, 1, 2}?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

{ - 1, 1, 7, 23 }

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range substitute the values from the domain into g(x)

g(-2) = -2(- 2) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

g(- 10) = - 2(- 10) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23

g(1) = - 2(1) + 3 = - 2 + 3 = 1

g(2) = - 2(2) + 3 = - 4 + 3 = - 1

Range is { - 1, 1, 7, 23 }

Can someone help me with this?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Let 'a' be the first term, 'r' be the common ratio and 'n' be the number of terms

Series = 2+6+18.......= 2+2•3¹+ 2•3².......= 728

Now,

$Sum = \frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1) }{(r - 1)} \\$

So,

$\frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1)}{(r - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{(3 - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{2} = 728 \\ {3}^{n} - 1 = 728 \\ {3}^{n}=728+1\\ {3}^{n} = 729 \\ {3}^{n} = {3}^{6} \\ \boxed{ n = 6}$

Therefore, number of terms is 6

6 is the right answer.

85% = 0.85

1-0.85 = 0.15

80 x 0.15 = 12
