Let x be the common ratio and y be the 3rd term
11.25/x=y This means the fourth term divided by the common ratio will get the third term
20x=y This means the second term multiplied by the common ratio will get the third term
11.25/x=20x Set the two y's equal to each other, and solve for x!
20x^2=11.25
x^2=.5625
x=+-√.5625
x=.75 or -.75
The answer is 12 because first we have to simplify 14-8 to 6 so it will be
x-6=6
Then add 6 to both sides lastly simplify 6+6 to 12
So x=12
10 - 2x = -30
-2x = -40
2x = 40
x = 20
19. What you know is that HK+KJ = HJ. If HJ = 25, the sum of the two equations will equal this length.
x-5+5x-12=25 First, combine your like terms. You will end up with 6x-17=25. Add the opposite of -17 to both sides. 6x = 42 Divide both sides by 6. x = 7. Substitute x=7 for your original expression of x-5, 7-5=2
20. (5x-6)/2 = x+6 Multiply each side by 2. 5x-6 = 2x +12 Add 6 to each side 5x = 2x + 18 then subtract 2x from both sides as well. 3x = 18 Finally divide each side by 3. x=6 To find the length of the remaining segment, substitute this value into (5x-6)/2. This results in each side equaling a distance of 12.
21. On the number line, the distance of FG is 16 units. If the distance of FP is 1/4 of FG, you would simply divide 16 by 4. The distance of FP is 4 and P lies at 8 on your number line.
23. The distance of SP is x+4 and ST=4x. Since P is the midpoint, you only have one half of the line as x+4, if you were to double it, you would find that 2x+8 = 4x. Balance and solve for x, subtract 2x from both sides. 8=2x Divide each side by 4, 8/4 = 4x/4 resulting in x=2. If ST equals 4x, substitute and solve, 4(2) = 8
Answer:
3n/3 or 3n÷3
Step-by-step explanation:
since it says triple the quotient of a <u>number</u>, we can use the number n.
To find the quotient means to divide and it's going to be by that numer.....n....... trippled (3)
put them all together and you get 3n/3
