Answer: -5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(4x + -28) = 9x
Reorder the terms:
(-28 + 4x) = 9x
Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x
-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-28 + -5x = 0
Add '28' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0
0 + -5x = 0 + 28
-5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28
-5x = 28
Divide each side by '-5'.
x = -5.6
Simplifying
x = -5.6
Firstly, seeing that the sequence is based on odd numbers I would say that this is the formula (which will allow you to know whatever term):
nth term = 2n-1
Hope this helps!
2/3 is .666666 so that would be the percent
What is 100% of the mass ?
Exponents are similar in concept to multipication. Multiplication is repeated addition and exponents are repeated multiplication.
So x^3 = x*x*x
f(-2) = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8
