Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+5)=12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+5)=12

(3)(x)+(3)(5)=12(Distribute)

3x+15=12

Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.

3x+15−15=12−15

3x=−3

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

−3

x=−1

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+5)=12

Divide each side by 3

3/3(x+5)=12/3

x+5 = 4

Subtract 5 from each side

x+5-5 = 4-5

x = -1

x=5 and y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Find x:

3x - 2 = x + 8

-x -x

2x - 2 = 8

+2 +2

2x = 10

In two or more complete sentences, explain whether the sequence is finite or infinite. Describe the pattern in the sequence if i

levacccp [35]

The sequence is given as follow
$3a$ , $3 a^{2}b,3 a^{3} b^{2} , 3 a^{4} b^{3}$

When finding the pattern of a sequence, we can try to work out whether there is a common difference or a common ratio between each term. We try by finding a common ratio

$\frac{3 a^{2}b }{3a} =ab$
$\frac{3 a^{3 b^{2} } }{3 a^{2}b }=ab$
$\frac{3 a^{4} b^{3} }{3 a^{3} b^{2} }=ab$

The term to term rule is multiplied by $ab$

The $5^{th}$ term is given $3 a ^{4} b^{3}$ × $ab=3 a^{5} b^{4}$

The $6^{th}$ term is given by $3 a^{5} b^{4}$ × $ab=3 a^{6} b^{5}$

Describe the steps in solving the linear equation 3(3x-8)=4x+6

tatiyna

Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.

9x - 24 = 4x + 6

Add 24 to both sides.

9x = 4x + 30

Subtract 4x from both sides.

5x = 30

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 6
