Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-14=2-10x

First step is to add 10x to each side

6x+10x-14=2-10x+10x

16x-14=2

Now add 14 to each side

16x-14+14=2+14

16x=16

Divide each side by 16 to isolate x

16x/16 =16/16

x =1

$6x-14=2-10x\qquad\text{add 14 to both sides}\\\\6x=16-10x\qquad\text{add 10x to both sides}\\\\16x=16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\\boxed{x=1}$

$Check:\\\\6x-14=6(1)-14=6-14=-8\\\\2-10x=2-10(1)=2-10=-8\\\\CORRECT$

The first term of an AP is -7 and the ratio of the eight term to the third term is 7:1 calculate the common difference

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

the common difference is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

first term of an AP, a = -7

let the common difference = d

The third term is written as;

T₃ = a + 2d

The eight term is written as;

T₈ = a + 7d

The ratio of the eight term to third term = 7:1

$\frac{T_8}{T_3} = \frac{7}{1} = \frac{a+ 7d}{a + 2d} \\\\7 = \frac{a+ 7d}{a + 2d}\\\\Recall, a = -7\\\\7 = \frac{-7+ 7d}{-7 + 2d}\\\\7(-7 + 2d) = -7+ 7d\\\\-49 + 14d = -7 + 7d\\\\14d -7d = -7 + 49\\\\7d = 42\\\\d = \frac{42}{7} \\\\d = 6$

Therefore, the common difference is 6.
