The common ratio is -1/5.

Each number is the opposite (negative sign) and one fifth of the last one. This means to get the next term, you multiply by -1/5, so that is your common ratio.

Somebody help<br> 7x - [4x-3(x-1)]=x+ 12
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplificando

7x + -1 [4x + -3 (x + -1)] = x + 12

Reordenar los términos:

7x + -1 [4x + -3 (-1 + x)] = x + 12

7x + -1 [4x + (-1 * -3 + x * -3)] = x + 12

7x + -1 [4x + (3 + -3x)] = x + 12

Reordenar los términos:

7x + -1 [3 + 4x + -3x] = x + 12

Combinar términos semejantes: 4x + -3x = 1x

7x + -1 [3 + 1x] = x + 12

7x + [3 * -1 + 1x * -1] = x + 12

7x + [-3 + -1x] = x + 12

Reordenar los términos:

-3 + 7x + -1x = x + 12

Combinar términos semejantes: 7x + -1x = 6x

-3 + 6x = x + 12

Reordenar los términos:

-3 + 6x = 12 + x

Resolviendo

-3 + 6x = 12 + x

Resolviendo para la variable 'x'.

Mueva todos los términos que contengan x hacia la izquierda, todos los demás términos hacia la derecha.

Agrega '-1x' a cada lado de la ecuación.

-3 + 6x + -1x = 12 + x + -1x

Combinar términos semejantes: 6x + -1x = 5x

-3 + 5x = 12 + x + -1x

Combinar términos semejantes: x + -1x = 0

-3 + 5x = 12 + 0

-3 + 5x = 12

Agrega '3' a cada lado de la ecuación.

-3 + 3 + 5x = 12 + 3

Combinar términos semejantes: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 5x = 12 + 3

5 veces = 12 + 3

Combinar términos semejantes: 12 + 3 = 15

5 veces = 15

Divida cada lado por '5'.

x = 3

Simplificando

x = 3

4x - (-6) what’s the answer
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If i remember correctly, two minuses make a positive, so -(-6) would turn into +6. I dont think that you can add a number with a variable to a regualar number so the answer is as simplified as it can get. If that one is wrong, try 10x. Hope this helps!

A system of equations is shown below.
Nimfa-mama [501]
-3x + 7y = -16 . . . (1)
-9x + 5y = 16 . . . .(2)

(1) x 3 => -9x + 21y = -48 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -16y = 64 . . . (4)

Required equivalent system of equations is
-9x + 5y = 16
-16y = 64

One inlet pipe can fill an empty pool in 6 hours, and a drain can empty the pool in 12 hours. How long will it take the pipe to
Ainat [17]

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours
