Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms -5x+9=59 subtract 9 from both side and get -5x=50 so x=-10
Answer:
20.0%
Step-by-step explanation:
The last 30 presidents of America starts from the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln and ends with the current and 45th president, Donald Trump.
The presidents that are 60 and above years during this period include
Donald Trump, Goerge H. W. Bush, Roland Regan, Gerald Ford, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman.
Making 6 of them out of 30
The percentage is given by
Number of presidents aged 60 and above×100/Total number of presidents
6×30/100=20%
Answer
-19
Step-by-step explanation:
AS WE NEED TO FIND THE DIFF SO -8-11=-19
Answer:
Below in bold
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is:
3, x, y, 18
If this is an A P then
x - 3 = y - x
2x - y = 3 (A) and
y - x = 18 - y
2y - x = 18 (B)
Multiply (A) by 2:
4x - 2y = 6 (C)
Adding B and C:
3x = 24
x = 8.
and
2y - 8 = 18
2y = 26
y = 13.
So x = 8 and y = 13.
b) ar + ar^2 = 6ar^3 where a = first term and r = common ratio
Divide by a:
r + r^2 = 6r^3
6r^3 - r^2 - r = 0
r(6r^2 - r - 1) = 0
r(3r + 1)(2r - 1) = 0
So the 2 possible values of r
= -1/3 and 1/2.
i) The common ratio is positive so it must be 1/2.
Second term ar = 8
1/2 a = 8
a = 16.
So the first 6 terms are:
16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2.
