6 0

Answer:

4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x-5) - (3x-2)

aka

(7x-5)  -1 (3x-2)

first distribute the -1 into (3x-2)

-3x+2

so

(7x-5)+ -3x+2

next combine like terms

7x-3x=4x

so

4x-5+2

then

-5+2=-3

so

4x-3 would be your simplified equation

A geometric sequence is defined by the general term tn = 75(5n), where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula of the sequ
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The correct answer is C) t₁ = 375, t_n=5t_{n-1}.

From the general form,
t_n=75(5)^n, we must work backward to find t₁.

The general form is derived from the explicit form, which is
t_n=t_1(r)^{n-1}.  We can see that r = 5; 5 has the exponent, so that is what is multiplied by every time. This gives us

t_n=t_1(5)^{n-1}

Using the products of exponents, we can "split up" the exponent:
t_n=t_1(5)^n(5)^{-1}

We know that 5⁻¹ = 1/5, so this gives us
t_n=t_1(\frac{1}{5})(5)^n
\\
\\=\frac{t_1}{5}(5)^n

Comparing this to our general form, we see that
\frac{t_1}{5}=75

Multiplying by 5 on both sides, we get that
t₁ = 75*5 = 375

The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by
t_n=t_{n-1}(r), while we must state what t₁ is; this gives us

t_1=375; t_n=t_{n-1}(5)

HELP PLEASE ASAP !!!
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

X = 6.25 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure:

∵ Two angles in the small flag = the corresponding angles in the large flag

∴ Two flags are similar

∴ Their sides are proportional

∴ \frac{4}{5}=\frac{5}{x} \\ x=\frac{(5)(5)}{4}=6.25

∴ x = 6.25 ft

Laura has two large cylindrical barrels of solution in her chemical laboratory. The first barrel contains 900 liters of solution
aleksley [76]

Answer:

-36m + 900 < 44m + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The first barrel contains 900 liters of the solution; &

The second barrel contains 100 liters of solution.

So, Laura drains the first barrel at the rate of 36 liters/ min

Since Laura is draining the solution in the first barrel;

Then; we have - 36m + 900 litres

Also; Laura fills the second barrel at a rate of 44 liters per minute.

Since Laura is filling the barrel; we have: 44m + 100

Therefore; the inequality representing when the second barrel contains a greater or equal amount of solution than the first barrel can be expressed as:

- 36m + 900 < 44m + 100
