Given the first three terms of a linear sequence: 3x – 2;x+9; 2x + 5 Determine the value of x.

Yuliya22 [10]

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

6/8 ÷ 2/3 pleas help me

butalik [34]

Answer:

$\frac{6}{8} \div \frac{2}{3}$

Simplify,

$\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

So now,

$\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{2}{3} \\ = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} \\ = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 2} \\ = \frac{9}{8} \\ = 1.125$

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels at 80 miles per

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

If the west-bound train travels at a rate of 80 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 80t.

If the east-bound train travels at a rate of 90 mph for t hours, then the distance it travels is 90t.

The distance between the trains after t hours is 476; therefore, the distance of the west-bound train plus the distance of the east-bound train equals the total distance between them, 476:

80t + 90t = 476 and

170t = 476 so

t = 2.8 hours
