Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation which are the x's.

10x - 7x = 3x so we now have the equation 3x = 12.

Now to solve for x, we want to get x by itself on the left side of the equation. Since x is being multiplied by 3, to get x by itself, we need to divide by 3 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 3 on the left side, we must also divide by 3 on the right side.

On the left side, notice that the 4's cancel out so we're simply left with x. On the right side we have 12 divided by 3 which is 4 so x = 4.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 4 back into the original equation.

So we have 10(4) - 7(4) = 12 or 40 - 28 = 12 or 12 = 12.

Since this a true statement, we know our answer is correct.

Which recursive formula can be used to generate the sequence shown, where f(1) = 5 and n > 1?

Degger [83]

The recursive formula $a_n = a_{n-1}-6$ can be used to generate the shown sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Recursive formula is the formula that is used to generate the next term of a sequence using previous term.

The general form of arithmetic sequence's recursive formula is:

$a_n = a_{n-1}+d$

Given

5,-1,-7,-13,-19

Here

$a_1 = 5\\a_2 = -1\\a_3 = -7$

First of all we have to find the common difference of the sequence.

So,

$d = a_2 -a_1 = -1-5 = -6\\d = a_3-a_2 = -7+1 = -6$

Putting the value of d in the general recursive formula

$a_n = a_{n-1}-6$

Hence,

The recursive formula $a_n = a_{n-1}-6$ can be used to generate the shown sequence

A video sharing website starts with 20,000 members. Each year it loses 25% of the members, but adds 10,000 new members after the

Paraphin [41]

Hello there!

So, as we see here, we can see that they start out with 20,000 members. 25% of 20,000 would be 5,000 members.

So, every year, they lose 25% which is 5,000 members of they team. But then they gain 10,000 more.

So, practically, they get 5,000 every year even though they get 25% off.

5,000 would be the answer.
