Hey :)
x= -12
Use the distributive property to multiply −4 by 2x+13
−8x−52=3x+80
Subtract 3x from both sides
−8x−52−3x=80
Combine −8x and −3x to get −11x
−11x−52=80
Add 52 to both sides
−11x=80+52
Add 80 and 52 to get 132
−11x=132
Divide both sides by −11
x= 132/-11
Divide 132 by −11 to get −12
x=−12
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
=
[2a + (n - 1)d ]
where d is the common difference and a is the first term
here d = 9 - 7 = 7 - 5 = 2 and a = 5, hence
=
[(2 × 5) + 2(n - 1) ]
=
(10 + 2n - 2)
=
(2n + 8)
= n² + 4n
When sum = 165, then
n² + 4n = 165 ← rearrange into standard form
n² + 4n - 165 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 15)(n - 11) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 15 = 0 ⇒ n = - 15
n - 11 = 0 ⇒ n = 11
but n > 0 ⇒ n = 11
...6 and 10 are roots, so x – 6 and x – 10 are factors.
y = a(x – 6)(x – 10).....plug in the point (8, 2) and solve for a:
2 = a(8 – 6)(8 – 10)
2 = –4a
a = –1/2
...y = (–1/2)(x – 6)(x – 10)
...y = (–1/2)(x² – 16x + 60)
...y = (–x²/2) + 8x – 30 <<<------Answer, or:
...y = (–1/2)(x – 8)² + 2 <<<------Answer
Answer:
GH=15
Step-by-step explanation:
HK= FK/2= 16/2= 8
Using pythagoras theorem in triangle GHK,
GH²= GK²-HK²
= 17²-8²
= 225
GH= √225
=15
