Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the first step is to apply the distributive property:
4(3x - 1) is equal to (12x - 4). You DISTRIBUTE a '4' to what is inside the parentheses.
And btw, to make it easier, you can make 9 - x so that x is first. For example, (-x + 9). They're both the same thing, just written differently.
Your new equation is 12x - 4 = -x + 9. You want to now solve the equation.
Add the (-x) to both sides. It cancels out on the right side and you add it to 12x on the left side.
[If there's no number in front of a variable, you can always just put 1 in order to make it easier]
12x + 1x = 13x. Your new equation is 13x - 4 = 9. This should look very familiar. You simply add 4 to both sides. 9 + 4 = 13
Finally, 13x = 13. Divide 13 ÷ 13 to get 1.
x = 1
Answer:
a₈ = - 1 / 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
First four terms of the sequence
a₁= 1, a₂= - 1/2, a₃= 1/4 and a₄= -1/8
First we recognize that this is a geometric series (sequence) and we must calculate quotient q.
q = a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = (-1/2)/1 = (1/4)/(-1/2) = - 1/2
q = - 1/2
Formula for calculating n-th term is:
aₙ = a₁ · qⁿ⁻¹
According to this:
a₈ = 1 (-1/2)⁷ = - 1/ 128
God with you!!!
Answer:
- 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Sine -1/4 is a fraction, you can think of it as quarters in this case. there are 4 quarters in a dollar. 1/4 = 25/100.
To multiply fractions, you just multiply across so you'd do:
3 × 2 = 6
4 × 3 = 12
The answer is 6/12, but it asks for the simplest form so you can simplify to 1/2. I hope this helps!
