Answer:

a = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 3(a+4)-5(a-2) = 22

Opening Brackets

=> 3a+12-5a+10 = 22

=> 3a-5a+12+10 = 22

=> -2a+22 = 22

Subtracting 22 to both sides

=> -2a = 0

Dividing both sides by -2

We get,

=> a = 0

Answer:

a = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a+4)-5(a-2)=22

3a+12-5a+10=22

-2a+22=22

Subtract 22 from both sides

-2a=0

Multiply both sides by -1

2a= -0

2a=0

Divide both sides by 2

a=0

2,6,18,... Find the 8th term. Find the 8th term.

maw [93]

Answer:

4378

Step-by-step explanation:

Its clearly given that each term is multiplied by 3

I.e- 2×3 = 6

6×3= 18

and so on....

so here the G.P series is a=2 and r=3

To find the 8th term ar^8-1

ar^7 = 2×3^7

= 2×2187

= 4378

Helena wrote the equation using point-slope form for the line that passes through the points (5, 1) and (3, 5). Analyze the step

viva [34]

Answer:

In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have the points (5, 1) and (3, 5)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute

$m=\frac{5-1}{3-5}$

$m=\frac{4}{-2}$

$m=-2$

step 2

The equation of the line in point slope form is

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

take the point (3,5)

$m=-2$

substitute

$y-5=-2(x-3)$

$y-5=-2x+6$

$y=-2x+6+5$

step 3

$y=-2x+11$

therefore

In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair
