Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x−3) = 10x+5

5x−15 = 10x+5 (Simply both sides of the equation)

−5x−15 = 5 (Subtract 10x from both sides)

−5x = 20 (Add 15 to both sides)

−5x /−5 = 20 /−5 (Divide both sides by -5.)

x = -4

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First do distributive property

5x-15=10x+5

then add 15

5x=10x+20

-10x

-5x=20

divide 5

x=-4

Use geometric series to find the fraction of 0.8967898989

Sliva [168]

I'm guessing the repeating part is 89 at the end, so that

$x=0.8967\overline89\implies10^4x=8967.\overline{89}$

Then

$10^4x=8967+\displaystyle89\sum_{i=1}^\infty\frac1{100^i}$

$10^4x=8967+89\left(\dfrac1{1-\frac1{100}}-1\right)$

$10^4x=8967+\dfrac{89}{99}$

$x=\dfrac{8967}{10^4}+\dfrac{89}{99\cdot10^4}$

$x=\dfrac{443911}{495000}$

###

An arguably quicker way without using geometric series:

$10^4x=8967.\overline{89}$

$10^6x=896789.\overline{89}$

$10^6x-10^4x=887822$

$x=\dfrac{887822}{10^6-10^4}=\dfrac{443911}{495000}$

Need answer to 4 and 5

algol13

Answer:

Substitute n =1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to get the first five terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

(4). $g_n = 2 . 3^{n - 1}$

To find the first term, substitute n = 1.

Therefore, $g_1 = 2 . 3^{1 - 1} = 2 . 3^{0} = 2 . 1$ = 2

$g_2 = 2 . 3^{2 - 1} = 2 . 3$ = 6

$g_3 = 2 . 3^{3 - 1} = 2 . 3^{2} = 2 . 9$ = 18

$g_4 = 2 . 3^{4 - 1} = 2 . 3^{3} = 2 . 27$ = 54

$g_5 = 2 . 3^{5 - 1} = 2 . 3^{4} = 2 . 81$ = 168

Therefore the first five terms of the sequence are: 2, 6, 18, 54, 168.

(5). $t_n = \frac{2}{3}t_{n - 1}$

$t_2 = \frac{2}{3} t_{2 - 1} = \frac{2}{3}t_1 = \frac{2}{3}6$ = 4

$t_3 = \frac{2}{3} t_2 = \frac{2}{3}. 4 = \frac{8}{3}$

$t_4 = \frac{2}{3}t_3 = \frac{2}{3}\frac{8}{3} = \frac{16}{9}$

$t_5 = \frac{2}{3}t_4 = \frac{2}{3}\frac{16}{9} = \frac{32}{27}$

Therefore the first five terms in the sequence are: 6, 4, 8/3, 16/9, 32/27.
