Answer:

12a+2b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand by distributing terms.

20a-8b-2(4a-5b)20a−8b−2(4a−5b)

2. Expand by distributing terms.

20a-8b-(8a-10b)20a−8b−(8a−10b)

 3. Remove parentheses.

20a-8b-8a+10b20a−8b−8a+10b

4.Collect like terms.

(20a-8a)+(-8b+10b)(20a−8a)+(−8b+10b)

5. Simplify.

12a+2b12a+2b

6.Answer

The answer is 12a+2b

That is the answer because:
Following the distributive property
4*5a=20a
4*-2b=-8b
-2*4a=-8a
-2*-5b=10a
So now you have
20a-8b-8a+10a
So combine like terms
12a+2b

the sum of the first six terms of a geometric series is 21/16 . if the common ratio is -1/2 , what is the first term?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

-84

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of a geometric progression is

Un = ar^n- 1

The sum of the first six terms of a geometric series (U6) = 21/16

Common ratio = -1/2 ,

a = First term ??

21/16 = a × (-1/2 )^6- 1

21/16 = a ×(-2^-1)^5

21/16 = a × -2^-6

Cross Multiply

16 × a × -2^-6 = 21

a = 21/16 × -2^-6

a = 21/16 ×- 1/2⁶

a = 21/16 × -1/64

a = 21 ÷(-1/4)

a = 21 × -4

a = -84

The first term = 84
