Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides

- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Each new term is 1 greater than the previous term.  Therefore:

x + 9 = (3x - 2) + 1                   Equivalent to x + 9 = 3x - 2 + 1, or:

                                                                       9 + 2 - 1 = 2x, or 2x = 10

                                                Thus, x = 5

Check by substituting 5 for x as indicated:

3x - 2 becomes 13 (which means the next term must be 14)

x + 9 becomes 14, and

2x + 5 becomes 15

and these consecutive sequence terms are {13, 14, 15}

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST The amount (A) that principal (P) will be worth after t years at interest rate (r) compounded annually is
alex41 [277]

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're looking for time, we can use the formula t =  A / Pr, which would be:
t = 6000/(7255 x 5.5%)
Converting the percentage into decimal form
t = 6000/(7255 x 0.055)
We can then solve to get:
t = 6000/399.025
t = 15.03665183...
Meaning it would take 15 years for an interest of 5.5% on $6,000 to reach $7,255. Not very worth $1,255 extra if you need that 6k for rent.

Which statements about square roots are true? Check all that apply.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The only correct answer is:

All positive numbers have two square roots

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true because in any situation all positive numbers have two square roots. For example, the square root of 25 is +/- 5 which means that 5 is a square root (because 5x5=25) and -5 is a square root (because -5x-5=25).

The others such as 18 = 9, 149 = 7, and 25 = 5 are all false statements.
