For any value of x, the sum <br> 3<br> ∑ k(2x-1) <br> k=0<br> is equivalent to
MArishka [77]

The equivalent value of the sum for any value of "x" is 12x - 6

<h3>How to find the sum of functions?</h3>

Given the sum of the expression as:

3

∑ k(2x-1)

k=0

We need to take the sum of the function at the point where k = 0 to 3

3

∑ k(2x-1) = 0(2x-1) + 1(2x - 1) + 2(2x-1) + 3(2x - 1)

k=0

3

∑ k(2x-1) = 2x-1+4x-2+6x-3

k=0

3

∑ k(2x-1) = 12x - 6

k=0

Hence the equivalent value of the sum for any value of "x" is 12x - 6

The sum of two numbers is 34. Half of the first number plus one third of the second number is 14. What are the two numbers?
Flura [38]

Answer:

  • 16 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y. Then we got following equations:

  • x + y = 34
  • 1/2x + 1/3y = 14

<u>Double the second equation and subtract from the first one. Solve for y:</u>

  • x + y - x - 2/3y = 34 - 2*14
  • 1/3y = 6
  • y = 3*6
  • y = 18

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 34 - 18 = 16
