1. Solve for x in 2x + 5 = 12
2x + 5 = 12 Subtract 5 from both sides.
2x = 7 Divide 2 from both sides.
x = 3.5
2. Substitute 3.5 in for x in 6x + 20
6(3.5) + 20
21 + 20
41
Your answer is 41.
The nth term is
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
an=1(2)^(n-1)
a1=1
r=2
the sum of a geometric seequence is

a1=1
r=2
we want to find

(since we minus 1, the highest exponet is 9 so add 1 to make it correct)



Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Hihi. So, this is a nice application of interest rates as well as properties of exponentials/logarithms. As you know, the basic equation for interest rates is A= Pe^(rt) where A is your final amount, P is your initial, r is your rate of interest, and t is the time the money was accumulating interest. After cleaning up, you get in a situation due to you having e still lying around. Luckily, if you take the natural log of e, all you have left behind is the previous exponent. Thus, you can take the natural log of both sides, divide by 4, and then simplify to see that your final interest rate is ~6%
Answer:
Is is geometric. The geometric ratio is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 × -4 = -12
-12 × -4 = 48
48 × -4 = -192
