Answer:
-6-b
Step-by-step explanation:
4(1-2b)+7b-10
Multiply what's in parantheses
4(1)=4
4(-2b)=-8b
4-8b+7b-10
Combine like terms
4-10 -8b+7b
-6-b
Hope this helps :)
Evaluate abs(2 x - 7) - 3 where x = 2:abs(2 x - 7) - 3 = abs(2 2 - 7) - 3
2×2 = 4:abs(4 - 7) - 3
4 - 7 = -3:abs(-3) - 3
Since -3<=0, then abs(-3) = 3:3 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:Answer: 0
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the expression to 2^1/4
Now transform the expression using a^m/n = n root a raised to a power of m.
And that's how you get your answer.
Answer: 30
Step-by-step explanation:
105 + 45 =150
180 - 150 = 30
30 +90 = 120
180 - 120 = 60
2x = 60
x =30
Let the three gp be a, ar and ar^2
a + ar + ar^2 = 21 => a(1 + r + r^2) = 21 . . . (1)
a^2 + a^2r^2 + a^2r^4 = 189 => a^2(1 + r^2 + r^4) = 189 . . . (2)
squaring (1) gives
a^2(1 + r + r^2)^2 = 441 . . . (3)
(3) ÷ (2) => (1 + r + r^2)^2 / (1 + r^2 + r^4) = 441/189 = 7/3
3(1 + r + r^2)^2 = 7(1 + r^2 + r^4)
3(r^4 + 2r^3 + 3r^2 + 2r + 1) = 7(1 + r^2 + r^4)
3r^4 + 6r^3 + 9r^2 + 6r + 3 = 7 + 7r^2 + 7r^4
4r^4 - 6r^3 - 2r^2 - 6r + 4 = 0
r = 1/2 or r = 2
From (1), a = 21/(1 + r + r^2)
When r = 2:
a = 21/(1 + 2 + 4) = 21/7 = 3
Therefore, the numbers are 3, 6 and 12.
