Answer:

-1/2 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x - 4) = 6x - 6 (distribute)

2x - 8 = 6x - 6 ( subtract 2x from each side)

- 8 = 4x - 6 ( add 6 to both sides)

-2 = 4x ( divide each side by 4)

x = -2/4 which simplifies to -1/2

Answer:

x is -1/2 (negative one half)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply distributive property on the left in order to get rid of the parenthesis, and then group all terms in x on the right, and all numerical terms on the left. Combine like terms, and finally solve for "x":

2 (x - 4) = 6 x - 6

2 x - 8 = 6 x - 6

6 - 8 = 6 x - 2 x

-2 = 4 x

x = -2/4

x = -1/2

Three terms of an arithmetic sequence are shown below. Which recursive formula defines the sequence?: f(1) = 6, f(4) = 12, f(7)

Gala2k [10]

A = 6
tn = a + (n - 1)d
t4 = 6 + 3d = 12
3d = 12 - 6 = 6
d = 6/3 = 2
f(n + 1) = f(n) + 2
