Answer:

1210 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the old farmland be x acres

new farmland = 968 acres

therefore

let us find 20% of the old farmland

=20/100x

=0.2x

Hence

968+0.2x=x

collect like terms

968=x-0.2x

968=0.8x

x= 968/0.8

x=1210 acres

Find the 10th term of the geometric sequence 1, 3, 9, ...
ladessa [460]

Answer:

a(10) = 3^9 = 19683

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sequence each new term is equal to 3 times the previous term.  Thus, 3 is the common ratio.  The first term is 1.

The general formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence i

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n -1), where r is the common ratio.

Here, a(n) = 1*3^(n - 1), and so

the 10th term is

           a(10) = 1*3^(10 - 1), or

            a(10) = 3^9 = 19683

Serious I need your help plz
makkiz [27]
Greetings!

Solve for x.
\frac{x+11}{8} =-3
Multply both sides by 8 to get rid of the fraction.
8(\frac{x+11}{8}) =8(-3)
x+11=-24
Add -11 to both sides.
(x+11)+(-11)=(-24)+(-11)
The Answer Is:
x=-35

Hope this helps.
