I am still learning, and am most likely incorrect.
I believe you remove the 3's since their not needed, and do this:
2x = 4x + 6 - (2x)
so then just ignore "x" and do this:
2 = 4 + 6 - 2
2 = 10 - 2
2 = 8
x = 8
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
Answer:
<u>416 square centimeters</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for finding area of a trapezoid :
<u>A = 1/2 x (a + b) x h</u>
- a and b = parallel sides of the trapezoid
- h = height of the trapezoid
Solving :
- A = 1/2 x (38 + 14) x 16
- A = 8 x 52
- A = <u>416 square centimeters</u>
Answer:
TRUE
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8*2^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric sequence since we multiply from the previous term.
a_n = a_1 * common ratio^(n-1) where a_n is the nth number and a_1 is the first.
The first term is 8, so we have
a_n = 8*<common ratio>^(n-1) = 8*2^(n-1)
