Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to divide both sides of this equation by -2, making the equation |x-16|=-3. At this point you should know there cannot be any solutions to the equation because absolute value cannot be negative.
This is how I'd set it up:
405/20 = 243/x
this means the mpg (miles / gallons) for 1 situation is the same as the mpg for the other situation (because the rate is the same)
then just cross multiply and solve:
405x=243*20 or 405x=4860 or x = 12
he would need 12 gallons of gas for 243 miles
-1/4 is a fraction and -4 is a full answer, of course it will be different. 1/4 is a fourth of something while 4 is a whole number. Although remember about he negative sign there.
Answer:
This is a geometric sequence because any term divided by the previous term is a constant called the common ratio. r=36/18=18/9=2 A geometric sequence is expressed as
\begin{gathered}a_n=ar^{n-1},\text{ where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number}\\ \\ a_n=9(2^{n-1})\\ \\ a_6=9(2^5)\\ \\ a_6=288\end{gathered}an=arn−1, where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term numberan=9(2n−1)a6=9(25)a6=288
The answer is
4.25.
All you have to do is find the difference (0.5), half it (0.25) and add it to the smallest number.
