Answer:
n=7/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1 (n – 4) – 3 = 3 - (2n+3)
1. distribute the 1 on the left side and distribute the -1 on the right side
1n-4-3=3-2n-3
2. add like terms
1n-7=-2n
3. move n to one side and by itself
-7=-3n
4. divide -3 to get n alone. Both negatives cancel out each other
7/3=n
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
An=a1r^(n-1)
given
a5=1/24
a10=1/768
we know that
a5=1/24=a1r^(5-1) and
a10=1/768=a1r^(10-1)
so
1/24=a1r^4
1/768=a1r^9
(a1r^9)/(a1r^4)=r^5=(1/768)/(1/24)=1/32
r^5=1/32
take 5th root of both sides
r=1/2
we have
a5=a1r^4=1/24
evaluate r^4 or (1/2)^4
1/16
a1(1/16)=1/24
times both sides by 16/1
a1=16/24
a1=2/3
the first term is 2/3
5x+17+15=45
5x=45-17-15
5x=13
x=13/5
