Hello there!

First, let's understand what we are dealing with here.

8a + 7 = 31

Our goal is to isolate 8a and then solve for a.

Since 8a is being added by 7, we need to cancel it out. The only way to do that is to perform the opposite order of operations to +7.
The opposite order of operations of +7 is -7, so subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.

7 - 7 = 0
31 - 7 = 24

We now have:
8a = 24

Now we need to solve for a. However, it is being multiplied by 8, so we need to perform the opposite order of operations once again to solve for a.

Divide both sides by 8 to solve for a.

8a / 8 = a
24 / 8 = 3

A = 3 is your solution.

I hope this helps!

First, subtract 7 from both sides.
8a=24
Then, divide each side by 8.
a=3

Abraham is writing a recursive function for the geometric sequence:
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a1 = 24

an = an-1 × 1/2, n >1

Step-by-step explanation:

a geometric sequence is a sequence where we multiply every previous term by a certain factor to create the next term.

so, we multiply 24 by something to get 12.

and then 12 by the same something to get 6.

and then 6 by the and something to get 3.

do you see the pattern ? hmmm ?

right, we always divide by 2 (or multiply by 1/2).

the starting value a1 = 24

so,

an = an-1 × 1/2, n>1

or

an = a1 \times  {(1 \div 2)}^{n - 1}

n>1

I need help nowww!! 16 points
Setler [38]

Answer:

A: x = 0

B: x = All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Any number to the power of (0) equals one. This applies true for the given situation; one is given an expression which is as follows;

(6^2)^x=1

Simplifying that will result in;

36^x=1

As stated above, any number to the power of (0) equals (1), thus (x) must equal (0) for this equation to hold true.

36^0=1\\x=0

B.

As stated in part (A), any number to the power (0) equals (1). Therefore, when given the following expression;

(6^0)^x=1

One can simplify that;

1^x=1

However, (1) to any degree still equals (1). Thus, (x) can be any value, and the equation will still hold true.

x=All\ real \ numbers
