Answer:

The value of x that makes the equation true is -50/7

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 - 2(x+9) =5(x+4)

-12 - 2x - 18 =5x + 20

- 2x -12-18 = 5x + 20

-2x - 30 =5x + 20

-2x - 5x = 20+ 30

-7x = 50

x = 50/-7

x = -50/7

Consider a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a fourth term of -2.916.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.

Answer: -0.82

b) Find the sum to infinity of this sequence.

Answer: 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term in geometric series is given by 4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{0.549} \\r = 0.82

where

a is the first term

r is the common ratio and

n is the nth term

_________________________________

given

a = 4

4th term = -2.196

let

common ratio of this sequence. be r

4\ th \ term = ar^n-1\\-2.196 = 4r^{4-1} \\-2.196/4 = r^{3} \\r = \sqrt[3]{-0.549} \\r = -0.82

a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.

answer: -0.82

sum of infinity of geometric sequence is given by = a/(1-r)

thus,

sum to infinity of this sequence = 4/(1-(-0.82) = 4/1.82 = 2.2

Suppose two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. What angle relationships describe congruent angles in this context?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

In elementary geometry the word congruent is often used as follows.

Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length.

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Two circles are congruent if they have the same diameter.

The eight angles that are produced as a result of two parallel lines are cut by a transversal will together form four pairs of corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent. All angles that have the same position with regards to the parallel lines and the transversal are corresponding pairs.

2(x-3)-12 = -4<br> How do I solve this equations
deff fn [24]

Answer:

x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Multiply the factor (outside number) with the numbers and variable(s) in the box. This results in 2(x-3) = 2x-6

2nd Step: continue the rest of the equation since there are no more brackets left so 2x-6-12=-4

3rd Step: send -12 to the other side of the equation (side changes sign changes) so it will become 2x-6=-4+12    (You are actually supposed to make the variable alone on one side of the equation so that you would be able to calculate its value)

4th step: 2x-6=8 ---> send -6 to the other side as well which will then result in 2x=14

5th step: since 2 is being multiplied by x, when you send it to the other side (to make x alone) you will divide 14 by 2 ( sign of 2 changes from multiplication to division)

Final Step: x=7
