5(x-1) + 3 = 13
5x - 5 + 3 = 13
5x -2 = 13
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−1)+3=13

(5)(x)+(5)(−1)+3=13(Distribute)

5x+−5+3=13

(5x)+(−5+3)=13(Combine Like Terms)

5x+−2=13

5x−2=13

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

5x−2+2=13+2

5x=15

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

x=3

Answer:

x=3

Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 5, -15, 45

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a₈ = - 10935

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of a geometric sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 5 and r = $\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$ = $\frac{-15}{5}$ = - 3 , then

a₈ = 5 × $(-3)^{7}$ = 5 × - 2187 = - 10935

Mary can read 22 pages in 30 minutes how long would it take her to read a 100 page book? Right your answer in hours and minutes

mario62 [17]

30 divided by 22= 1.36
1.36 minutes for each page, to check 1.36x22= 29.92
1.36x100= 136 minutes.
Mary would need about 2 hours and 16 minutes to read a 100 page book.

Start by decomposing the number inside the root into primes

Then group the terms into cubes if possible

$\begin{gathered} 80=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot5 \\ 80=2^3\cdot2\cdot5 \\ 80=10\cdot2^3 \end{gathered}$

rewrite the root

$\sqrt[3]{80}=\sqrt[3]{10\cdot2^3}$

then cancel the terms that are cubes and bring them out of the root

$\sqrt[3]{80}=2\sqrt[3]{10}$
