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.

3x

3

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

2x - 2 = 8

     +2    +2

2x = 10

----   ----

2       2

x = 5

Find y:

6y - 7 = y + 33

-y         -y

5y - 7 = 33

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

Hope this helps!
