Answer:
x = 17 and y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since (6x + 3) and (8x - 31) are alternate interior angles, they are congruent.
Therefore, you can set them equal to each other and solve for x.
8x - 31 = 6x + 3
Combine like terms
2x = 34
Divide both sides by two
x = 17
Since (5y + 35) and (6x + 3) are consecutive interior angles, they add up to 180. Plug in 17 for x.
(5y + 35) + (6(17) + 3) = 180
Add like terms
5y + 140 = 180
5y = 40
y = 8
The wording of this question is a bit confusing... You can't write a sequence in sigma notation, but rather a series or sum. I think the question is asking you to write the sum of the sequence,
which would be
in sigma notation.
To do this, notice that the denominator in each term is a power of 2, starting with 
and ending with 
. So in sigma notation, this series is
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
Answer:
7 times
Step-by-step explanation:
There is one number greater than 5 on a dice - that is the number 6.
So probability of throwing a six = 1/6.
So it is 42 * 1/6.
