<span>0.25 (16x + 12) + 2x = 33
4x+3+2x=33
subtract 3 from both sides
6x=30
divide
6x/6=30/6
x=5</span>

.25(16x + 12) + 2x = 33
The first step is to distribute the .25 to what's inside the parentheses!
((16x*.25) +(12*.25)) + 2x = 33
Simplify...
4x + 3 +2x = 33
Add like terms...
6x + 3 = 33
Subtract three from both sides
6x + 3 - 3 = 33 - 3
Simplify
6x = 30
Divide each side by six
6x/6 = 30/6
Simplify
x = 5
That's your answer; x = 5! Hope this helped :)

Find the next 3 terms in the geometric sequence -36, 6, -1, 1/6, ...

timama [110]

we are given

geometric sequence -36, 6, -1, 1/6, ...

first term is -36

$a_1=-36$

now, we can find common ratio

$r=\frac{6}{-36}$

$r=-\frac{1}{6}$

now, we can find nth term

$a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}$

now, we can plug values

and we get

$a_n=36(-\frac{1}{6})^{n-1}$

now, we can find 5th term , 6th term, 7th term

fifth term:

$a_5=36(-\frac{1}{6})^{4}$

$a_5=\frac{1}{36}$

sixth term:

$a_6=36(-\frac{1}{6})^{5}$

$a_6=-\frac{1}{216}$

seventh term:

$a_7=36(-\frac{1}{6})^{6}$

$a_7=\frac{1}{1296}$

so, next terms are

$a_5=\frac{1}{36}$ , $a_6=-\frac{1}{216}$

, $a_7=\frac{1}{1296}$ .............Answer

A bag of marbles has 6 red marbles and 7 green marbles in it. What is the percent probability of pulling a green marble out of t

Answer:

If a bag contains 4 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 7 green marbles and a marble is randomly selected from the bag, what is the probability that it is blue? P=3/(3+4+7)=3/14 because each of 14 marbles is equally likely to be drawn.
