Recursive formula is one way of solving an arithmetic sequence. It contains the initial term of a sequence and the implementing rule that serve as a pattern in finding the next terms. In the problem given, the 6th term is provided, therefore we can solve for the initial term in reverse. To make use of it, instead of multiplying 1.025, we should divide it after deducting 50 (which supposedly is added).
<span>
Therefore, we perform the given formula: A (n) = <span>1.025(an-1) + 50
</span></span>a(5) =1.025 (235.62) + 50 = 291.51

a(4) = 1.025 (181.09) + 50 = 235.62

a(3) = 1.025 (127.89) + 50 = 181.09

a(2) = 1.025 (75.99) + 50 = 127.89

a(1) = 1.025 (25.36) + 50 = 75.99

a(n) = 25.36

The terms before a(6) are indicated above, since a(6) is already given.

So, the correct answer is <span>A. $25.36, $75.99.</span>

What is 6(x+3)=2(2x+5)
koban [17]

Answer:

x = -4 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

Distribution

6x+18 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x+18 = 10

Subtract 18 on both sides

2x = -8

Divided by 2

x = -4

Now if we have to substitute the value of X

6(-4+3)=2(-8+5)

Parenthesis first

6(-1) = 2(-3)

-6 = -6

1.5/4x+1=0.4/x+4 PLEASE HELP ITS PROPORTIONS
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal

Given the equation:  \frac{1.5}{4x+1} = \frac{0.4}{x+4}

By cross multiply we get;

1.5(x+4) = 0.4(4x+1)

Using distributive property; a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

1.5x + 6= 1.6x + 0.4

Subtract 0.4 from both sides we get;

1.5x +5.6= 1.6x

Subtract 1.5x from both sides we get;

5.6= 0.1x

Divide both sides by 0.1 we get;

x = \frac{5.6}{0.1}

Simplify:

x = 56

Therefore, the value of x that satisfy the equation \frac{1.5}{4x+1} = \frac{0.4}{x+4} is, 56

Any help I would really appreciate it
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell if equations have no solution if the variables on both sides of the equation are the same.

Choice C is 10+6x=15+9x-3x. You would combine 9x and -3x, turning the equation into 10+6x=15+6x. Since there is a 6x on both sides, Choice C would have no solution.

The same for Choice D. When you simplify everything there is a 3x on both sides, so it would have no solution.
