5x + 2 = 17 is the right answer

C is your answer. 5x + 2 = 17

First let’s get them all in terms of x:
Box kites = 3x
Dragon kites = x + 2
Butterfly kites = x

Adding all those up:

x + 3x + x + 2 = 17
Combine like terms:
5x + 2 = 17

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−1, 5) and the system of equations?
Rudiy27
An ordered pair (x,y) is a solution to a system of equations if it makes all the equations true.
Let's check whether (–1, 5) makes the equations true.
Plugging –1 in the first equation for x and 5 in for y, we get
–1 + 5 = 4: TRUE
 Plugging –1 in the second equation for x and 5 in for y, we get
–1 – 5 = –6: TRUE

Since it makes both the equations true, it's a solution to the system of equations. So the answer choice is D, the 4th one.

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

There would be 58 nickels and 42 dimes. This can be found out by

1. 100 - 16 = 84

2. 84/2 = 42

3. 42 + 16 = 58

making 42 dimes and 58 nickels.

Use geometric mean to find the 7th term in a geometric sequence if the 6th term is 12 and the 8th term is 27
Darya [45]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First, use the equation for geometric mean; an=a1r^n-1</em>

*where is an is the number at an n term, r is the ratio and a1 is the first number of the sequence.*

12 = a1 r^5

27 = a1r^7

From the equations above,

a1 = 128/81

r = 3/2

Therefore, the 7th term is:

an = (128/81) (3/2)^6

an = 18

hope this helps :)
