Answers: 2x - 6 = 20 & x = 13

Explanation: The x in this equation is the temperature 5 hours ago. In the word problem, 20 degrees is the x temperature multiplied by 2 (since it says “twice the temperature”) and subtracted by 6 (since it says “6 degrees less). Therefore, the equation would be the x changing (due to the multiplying of 2 and subtraction of 6) that equal 20. When solving, first check to see if there are any like terms (None in this problem). Next, isolate the variable. Here, you add the opposite of 6 to both sides (-6 + 6 and 20 + 20). This makes it 2x = 26. Now divide by the coefficient (2x / 2 and 26 / 2). This will be x = 13. Hope this helped!

Answer:

Exponential

374.4

Step-by-step explanation:

This function is not linear. You can tell because the f(x) values do not increase by adding the same number each time.

163.84 + 81.83 = 245.67

245.67 + 122.88 = 368.64

The rate of change is different each time.

The average rate of change from x = 2 and x = 6 is the difference in y values over the difference in x values.

1866.24 - 368.64 = 1497.6

6 - 2 = 4

1497.6 / 4 = 374.4

zaharov [31]

Answer:

1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of sections = 8

Number of seats per section, x ;

150 ≤ x ≤ 200

The possible Number of seats in the auditorium :

Number of seats per section * number of sections

150 * 8 ≤ x ≤ 200 * 8

1200 ≤ x ≤ 1600

The possible Number of seats will lie within 1200 and 1600

From the options, only 1300 lie within this range

the sum of the first 6 terms of a geometric series is 15624 and the common ratio is 5. what is the first term of the series?
9966 [12]

Answer:

first term a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the first 6 terms S6 = 15624

common ratio r= 5

n= 6

first term a=?

Formula: S6= a(r^n-1)/r-1

15624 = a( 5^6-1)/5-1

15624 = a(15625-1)/4

15624= a( 15624)÷4

15624= 15624a÷4

Cross multiply

15624×4 = 15624a

62496 = 15624a

divide both sides by 15624

62496÷15624 = 15624a÷15624

4 = a

a= 4

How do you solve for x in a math question like this 5+4x=54-3x?
Bas_tet [7]

To solve for x, first you need to isolate all x terms on the same side so:

you start with 5 + 4x = 54 - 3x

subtract 5 from both sides to get 5 onto the left side

now you should have 4x = 49 - 3x

now add 3x to both sides to get 3x onto the right side

now you should have 7x = 49

now that you have your x on one side you can solve this like a regular one step equation and divide both sides by 7

this leads you to your answer of x = 7

hope this helps!
