Answer:

<u>XZ = 25</u>

<u>X</u><u>Y = 5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

XZ = XY + YZ

XZ = (1/5XZ) + 20

XZ - (1/5XZ )= 20

4/5 XZ = 20

5/5 XZ = (20 ÷ 4) × 5

XZ = <u>25</u>

XY = 1/5 × 25

= <u>5</u>

What is the term of a 7-term geometric series if the first term is -11 the last term is -45,056 and the common ratio is -4

shutvik [7]

I assume you mean to ask how to find the sum of the seven terms?

You have

$a_2=ra_1$
$a_3=ra_2=r^2a_1$
$a_4=ra_3=r^3a_1$
...
$a_7=ra_6=r^6a_1$

So the sum is

$a_1+ra_1+r^2a_1+\cdots+r^6a_1=a_1(1+r+r^2+\cdots+r^6)=a_1\times\dfrac{1-r^7}{1-r}$

You know that $a_1=-11$ and $r=-4$ , so the sum is equal to

$-4\times\dfrac{1-(-4)^7}{1-(-4)}=-13108$

Solve for k.<br> 6k - 8 = 4K + 15

Brut [27]

Hi,

Answer:

k = $\frac{23}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4k from both sides

6k - 4k = 2k

2k - 8 = 15

Add 8 on both sides (you want to get rid of the 8 in order to leave the k alone)

2k = 23

k = 23/2

Have a good day!

I'll give brainliest!! Also 40 points!

Well, if you have a word problem for example:

Maria has 24 backpacks and 12 textbooks. She needs to fit all the books in the backpacks evenly. How will she do that?

So you could do 24 ÷ 12 = 2 textbooks per backpack OR

Add 12 together until you get to 24, 12 + 12 = 24

So all you need to do is show your work and how you solved both solutions to any type of problem. (Hope this was helpful!)
