Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 3y + 4z = 24

9x + 3(9) + 4(-12) = 24

9x + 27 + (-48) = 24

9x + 27 - 48 = 24

9x - 21 = 24

9x = 24 + 21

9x = 45

x = 45 ÷ 9

x = 5

3y = 3 * 9 = 27
4z = 4 * -12 = -48
: -48 + 27 = -21
: -21 + x = 24
: X = 45.
I hope that makes sense.

Given the first three terms of a linear sequence: 3x – 2;x+9; 2x + 5 Determine the value of x.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides

- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5

Find the sum of a finite geometric sequence from n=1 to n=8, using the expression -2(3)^n-1

MissTica

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\sum\limits_{n=1}^{8}~-2(3)^{n-1}~~
\begin{cases}
n=8\\
a_1=-2\\
r=3
\end{cases}\implies S_8=-2\left( \cfrac{1-3^8}{1-3} \right)
\\\\\\
S_8=\underline{-2}\left( \cfrac{1-6561}{\underline{-2}} \right)\implies s_8=1-6561\implies S_8=-6560$

How do I solve this math problem

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Cross Multiply.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the denominator (3) of one side and the numerator (n).

Then, multiply the numerator (2) of on side and the denominator (4) of the other.

3n = 8

You divide both sides by 3 to have n be by itself, equaling ~2.6 or 8/3.
