Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2(x - 9) = 8x + x + 2

~Distribute left side

3x + 2x - 18 = 8x + x + 2

~Combine like terms

5x - 18 = 9x + 2

~Add 18 to both sides

5x = 9x + 20

~Subtract 9x to both sides

-4x = 20

~Divide -4 to both sides

x = -5

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2(x - 9) = 8x + x + 2

-----Distribute left side-----

3x + 2x - 18 = 8x + x + 2

-----Combine like terms-----

5x - 18 = 9x + 2

-----Add 18 to both sides-----

5x = 9x + 20

-----Subtract 9x to both sides-----

-4x = 20

-----Divide -4 to both sides-----

x = -5    <---

Good luck on your exam! :D

The table below shows the relationship between the number of cars sold and the amount of money earned by the car salesperson. Is
stira [4]

Answer:

No, it is not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by looking at the first two items in the chart. I have looked at them all to find a certain pattern, but there wasn't any. The salesman earns $250 for one car sale, and he also earns $600 for two car sales, while this seems like it's just adding a $100 bonus, if you look at the third item on the chart adds a $200 bonus. You could be thinking that this is just adding a $100 bonus for how many cars were sold before, but then you move onto the fourth item on the chart. Which would give you $1,300 if the pattern was continued, yet instead the amount listed is $1,076.

Nth term of this sequence 1, 10, 19, 28
mestny [16]

Answer:

The nth term of the sequence is

<h2>9n - 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

a = 1

d = 10 - 1 = 9 or 19 - 10 = 9 or 28 - 19 = 9

So the nth term of the sequence is

A(n) = 1 + (n - 1)9

= 1 + 9n - 9

= 9n - 8

<h3>A(n) = 9n - 8</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find an equation for the nth term of the sequence.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

a. an = -1 • 4^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easy see that each term is multiplied by 4 to get the next term, so the common ratio will be 4, that reduces the choices to answers A and B (since C and D use -1 as common ratio).  Also, normally a geometric progression uses "n-1", so we'll first try with A to see if it works.

a1 = (-1) * 4^0 = -1 * 1 = -1

a2 = (-1) * 4^1 = -1 * 4 = -4

a3 = (-1) * 4^2 = -1 * 16 = -16

Yes, it works... so the answer is an = -1 • 4^(n - 1)
