-w + 4(w + 3) = -12
expand (4 × w, 4 × 3)
-w + 4w + 12 = -12
3w + 12 = -12
- 12
3w = -24
÷ 3
w = -8

I hope this helps!

30/7 +30/7=60/7
60/7-22/7=38/7
59/7 -38/7=21/7

The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10−24, and the mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10−28. Find the approxim

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

≈ 1833

Step-by-step explanation:

To find ratio of proton mass to electron mass, we have to divide.

The numbers are given in <em>scientific notation</em>.

Let a number be $a*10^b$ and another be $c*10^d$ , when we divide, we will follow the rule shown below:

$\frac{a*10^b}{c*10^d}=(\frac{a}{c}*10^{b-d})$

Now, we use the information given to find the ratio:

$\frac{1.67*10^{-24}}{9.11*10^{-28}}\\=(\frac{1.67}{9.11}*10^{-24--28})\\=0.1833*10^4$

This means we can find the number by taking 4 decimal places to the right, so that would becomes:

$0.1833*10^4=1833$

The approximate ratio is 1833 [mass of proton is around 1833 times heavier than mass of electron]

What is the nth term of the following sequence……… 8, 3, -2, -7………..explain clearly aswell

Sphinxa [80]

8, 3, -2, -7

basically

you have to figure how to get from one term to the other. so in this case, to get from 8 to 3, you have to minus 5. and same again to get from 3 to -2, you again have to -5.

so the first past of the answer is -5n.

then after that, you have to figure out how to get from -5, to the first term of your sequence. so you have to add 13, in this case.

your answer would then be
