Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 6 = 2 - 4x - x + 1

-2x - 6 = 3 - 5x

3x - 6 = 3

3x = 9

x = 3

-2x-6 = 2-4x - (x-1)

-2x-6 = 2-4x -x + 1

-2x-6 = 3 - 5x

-2x + 5x = 3+6

3x = 9

devide 3 to both side

x = 3

A linear sequence starts a+3b a+7b a+11b the 2nd term has value 19 the 5th term has value 67 work out the values of a and b
alekssr [168]

Answer:

a = -9

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sequence: a+3b, a+7b, a+11b

2nd term = 19

5th term = 67

Required

Find a and b

First, the 5th term needs to be calculated;

Using formula for Arithmetic Progression (AP), the formula goes thus

T_n = T_1 + (n - 1)d

Where n = 5

T_1 = a + 3b ------------ FIrst term

d = T_2 - T_1 or T_3 - T_2 --- Difference between two successive terms

d = a + 7b - (a + 3b)

d = a + 7b -a - 3b

d = a - a + 7b - 3b

d = 4b

So, T_n = T_1 + (n - 1)d becomes

T_5 = a + 3b + (5 - 1)4b

T_5 = a + 3b + (4)4b

T_5 = a + 3b + 16b

T_5 = a + 19b

Now that we have values for 2nd and 5th term;

From the second, T2 = 19 and T5 = 67

This gives

a + 7b = 19 --- Equation 1

a + 19b = 67 ---- Equation 2

Make a the subject of formula in (1)

a = 19 - 7b

Substitute these values in equation 1

a + 19b = 67 becomes

19 - 7b + 19b = 67

19 + 12b = 67

Collect like terms

12b= 67 - 19

12b = 48

Divide both sides by 12

\frac{12b}{12} = \frac{48}{12}

b = 4

Recall that b = 4

Substitute a = 19 - 7b and nothing will hire

a = 19 - 7(4)

a = 19 - 28

a = -9

Hence, the values of a and b are -9 and 4 respectively.

Not sure what to do here? Naomi has 50 red beads and white beads. The number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of w
loris [4]


Naomi has 43 red beads. 7 white beads times 6 equals 42. 42 plus 1 equals 43. Sometimes you just need to guess and check using common sense. Otherwise an equation would be x+(6x+1)=50, which would be 7x+1+50. Then you simplify to 7x=49 and get x=7. Then multiply by 6 and add 1 to get 43

A teen estimates that she sleeps 8 hours per day. What fraction of the day does the teen sleep? Write the fraction in simplest f
8090 [49]
There are 24 hours in a day.
Sleeping 8 out of those 24 hours means a fraction of 8/24.
8/24 = 4/12 = 2/6 = 1/3
So sleeping 8 hours a day means sleeping for 1/3 of the day.
