Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a = 2x +3
b = 4x - 7

Finding x for which 3b = 5a:

3b = 5a

3(4x - 7) = 5(2x + 3)
12x - 21 = 10x + 15
12x - 10x = 15 + 21
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4x-7 for b and 2x+3 for a in 3b = 5a

3(4x-7) = 5(2x +3)

Solve for x:

12x-21 = 10x+15

2x = 36

x=18

Please write a equation for this table

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

y = 5x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (0, 2) tells us the y-intercept is 2.

If we translate the table down 2 units by subtracting 2 from every y-value, it becomes ...

6, 30

-2, -10

0, 0

10, 50

We notice these values are all related by a factor of 5 (they are proportional). That means the equation will be a straight line with slope 5 and y-intercept 2.

y = 5x +2

For the graphed function f(x) = -(5)* - 3 + 2, calculate the average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 4.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from x=a to x=b of f(x) is $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

The given function is $f(x)=-5^{x-3}+2$ .

$f(4)=-5^{4-3}+2=-3$ .

$f(4)=-5^{3-3}+2=1$ .

The average rate of change from x=3 to x=4 is given by:

$\frac{f(4)-f(3)}{4-3}$

$\frac{-3-1}{4-3}=-4$

Find the oth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ...

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

7, 14, 28, ...

We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{14}{7}=2,\:\quad \frac{28}{14}=2$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=2$

now substituting r = 2 and a₁ = 7 in the nth term

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$

Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$
