Let "a number" = x

3x - 5 = 40 is the equation you will use.

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 5 to both sides

3x - 5 (+5) = 40 (+5)

3x = 40 + 5

3x = 45

Next, to isolate the x, divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (45)/3

x = 45/3

x = 15

15 is your answer

Find the equation that is equivalent to the quadratic equation shown. Explain why

C - (x-3)^2=36

If we expand (x-3)^2=36:

(x-3)(x-3)=36
x^2-3x-3x+9=36
x^2-6x+9=36

Then subtract 36

x^2-6x-27=0

Given the sequence -2,-8/3,-10/3,-4,-14/3 find the recursive formula
balu736 [363]

Step-by-step explanation:

-2, -8/3, -10/3, -4, -14/3

Write as multiples of 1/3.

-6/3, -8/3, -10/3, -12/3, -14/3

This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -6/3 and the common difference is -2/3.

Therefore, the recursive formula is:

aᵢ₊₁ = aᵢ − 2/3, a₁ = -2

Use the model to solve for x.
Vitek1552 [10]
Answer:No solution
Explanation: There is no solution because x was eliminated in the last step of solving for x. Since we were left with x not being available to equal three, it shows it’s a no solution problem. Hope this helped!
