What is the value of a in the equation 5a - 10a = 45 when b = 3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

B is unnecessary here, so we can ignore it. The first thing we do in this equation is simplify by adding like terms. 5a-10a=-5a. So, the equation is now -5a=45. To solve a, we need it by itself. To do that, we undo the multiplication by diving both sides of the equation by -5. 45 divided by -5 is -9, and then we have x=-9.

These are the first four terms of a sequence.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

2+3n

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is based on a topic called sequence and series,under which we have the arithmetic progression

The formula for arithmetic progression is a+(n-1)d

In which a is the first number,n is the nth term and d is the difference

Back to the question

a=5,n=it's not given,d=3

Using the general formula

a+(n-1)d

5+(n-1)3

Open the bracket first

5+3n-3

Collect like terms

5-3+3n

2+3n

The answer is 2+3n

And it can be solved further only if we are given the value of n...the question even stated that we should solve in terms of n

Therefore the answer is 2+3n
