Answer: X= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-6=2X

Move 5x over

-6=-5x+2x

-6= -3x

Then divide

-3x/-3= -6/-3

X= 2

How do you write 0.8 recurring as a fraction?<br><br>please can i have an explanation aswell :)

monitta

Answer:

$\frac{8}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we require 2 equations with the repeating digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.888.. (1) ← multiply both sides by 10

10x = 8.888.. (2)

subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits

9x = 8 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = $\frac{8}{9}$

40, 10, 5/2 5/8... (fractions) is it arithmetic or geometric and what are the next two terms PLZ HELP DUE IN 10 MINS

patriot [66]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$40,\:10,\:\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{5}{8}$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{8}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{1}{4}$

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

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

As the first element of the sequence is

$a_1=40$

Therefore, the nth term is calculated as

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

Put n = 5 to find the next term

$a_5=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1}$

$a_5=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^4}$

$a_5=\frac{40}{4^4}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^8}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{2^5}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

now, Put n = 6 to find the 6th term

$a_6=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1}$

$a_6=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^5}$

$a_6=\frac{40}{4^5}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^{10}}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{2^7}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Thus, the next two terms of the sequence 40, 10, 5/2, 5/8... is:

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

What is the standard form of the linear function that passes

babunello [35]

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2(y-1)=2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}(x-4) \right)}\implies 2y-2 = 3(x-4)\implies 2y-2=3x-12 \\\\\\ -3x+2y-2=-12\implies -3x+2y=-10\implies \stackrel{\times -1\textit{ to both sides}}{3x-2y=10}$
