Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

So you’d distribute first, then combine like terms. After you’ve done that you’d do the inverse to isolate x

Can a math god help me out?

Answer:

f(1)=70

f(n)=f(n-1)+6

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following function:

f(n)=64+6n

One is asked to evaluate the function for (f(1)), substitute (1) in place of (n), and simplify to evaluate:

f(1)=64+6(1)

f(1)=64+6

f(1)=70

A recursive formula is another method used to represent the formula of a sequence such that each term is expressed as a function of the last term in the sequence. In this case, one is asked to find the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence: that is, a sequence of numbers where the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant. The following general formula is used to represent the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence:

a_n=a_(_n_-_1_)+d

Where (a_n) is the evaluator term (a_(_n_-_1_)) represents the term before the evaluator term, and (d) represents the common difference (the result attained from subtracting two consecutive terms). In this case (and in the case for most arithmetic sequences), the common difference can be found in the standard formula of the function. It is the coefficient of the variable (n) or the input variable. Substitute this into the recursive formula, then rewrite the recursive formula such that it suits the needs of the given problem,

a_n=a_(_n_-_1_)+d

a_n=a_(_n_-_1_)+6

f(n)=f(n-1)+6

Answer:

13/48

Step-by-step explanation:

I take the middle sign to be plus.\

3/4//4/5 = 3/4 * 5/4 = 15/16

15/16 - 2/3 =

The lowest common denominator would be 48: 16 and 3 are prime to each other.

45/48 - 32/48 = 13 / 48

Where did the minus come from? I take it that there is a minus sign in front of the 2
