Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

(3x +1)/10 = (7x -1)/22

11(3x +1) = 5(7x -1) . . . . . . multiply by 110

33x + 11 = 35x -5 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-33x to both sides

8 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Answer:

<h2> <u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

$\sf \bull \large \: \dfrac{3x + 1}{10} = \dfrac{7x - 1}{22}$

On cross multiplication

$\large \tt \: 22(3x + 1) = 10(7x - 1)$

$\large \tt \: 66x + 22 = 70x - 10$

$\large \tt \: 70x - 66x = 22 - 10$

$\large \tt \: 4x = 12$

$\large \tt \: x = 3$

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12

miskamm [114]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, hmmmm what's the slope of the line above anyway?

$\bf 3y-x=-12\implies 3y=x-12\implies y=\cfrac{x-12}{3}\implies y = \cfrac{x}{3}-\cfrac{12}{3} \\\\\\ y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{3}}x-4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through (18,2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{18}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{18}) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x-6\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-4$

A sequence is constructed according to the following rule: its first term is 7, and each next term is one more than the sum of t

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

$a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}$
