What is the value of a in the equation 5a-10b=45 when b=3

2 answers:

7 0

Since b = 3 the equation changes

5a - 10(3) = 45
5a - 30 = 45

(Add 30 to both sides)
5a = 75
Divide 5 to both sides
a = 15

If you would like to solve the equation 5 * a - 10 * b = 45, when b = 3, you can calculate this using the following steps:

b = 3
5 * a - 10 * b = 45
5 * a - 10 * 3 = 45
5 * a - 30 = 45
5 * a = 45 + 30
5 * a = 75 /5
a = 75 / 5
a = 15

Result: The value of a is 15.

What is the sum of the geometric sequence −4, 24, −144, ... if there are 8 terms?

Helga [31]

Answer:

The sum of 8 geometric sequence is 959780

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

this sequence is geometric

-4 , 24 , -144

First term is -4

so, $a_1=-4$

now, we can find common ratio

$r=\frac{24}{-4}=-6$

we can use formula

$S_n=a_1(\frac{1-r^n}{1-r} )$

n=8

now, we can plug values

$S_8=-4(\frac{1-(-6)^{8}}{1+6} )$

now, we can simplify it

and we get

$S_8=959780$

The cuboid and the triangular prism have the same volume. Find the value of x.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as

V = Al ( A is the area of the triangular face and l is its length )

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh = 0.5 × 5 × 8 = 20 cm² , then

V = 20 × 20 = 400 cm³

The volume of the cuboid is calculated as

V = lbh = 3.2 × 5 × x = 16x

Given V = 400 cm³ , then

16x = 400 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 25

11th grade geometry:

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The perimeter is 72 units and the area is 149 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle SBA$ has coordinates $S(15,-8),B(-2,21)$ and $A(0,0)$

Using the distance formula.........

Length of side $SB = \sqrt{(15+2)^2+(-8-21)^2}= \sqrt{17^2+(-29)^2}= \sqrt{1130}$

Length of side $BA= \sqrt{(-2)^2+(21)^2}= \sqrt{445}$

Length of side $AS =\sqrt{(15)^2+(-8)^2}=\sqrt{289}=17$

So, the perimeter of the triangle will be: $(SB+BA+AS)= \sqrt{1130}+ \sqrt{445}+17 =71.71... \approx 72$ units. (Rounded to the nearest unit)

The height of the triangle for the corresponding base $SB$ is 8.89 units.

Formula for the Area of triangle, $A= \frac{1}{2}(base\times height)$

So, the area of the $\triangle SBA$ will be: $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{1130}\times 8.89)= 149.42... \approx 149$ square units. (Rounded to the nearest unit)
