Q is the midpoint means that the two line segments are equal.
Equation
5x + 1 = 3x + 16
Solve
Subtract 1 from both sides.
5x = 3x + 16 - 1
5x = 3x + 15 Subtract 3x from both sides.
5x - 3x = 15
2x = 15 Divide by 2
x = 15/2
x = 7.5
Check
3(7.5) + 16 =? 5(7.5) + 1
22.5 + 16 =? 37.5 + 1
38.5 =? 38.5 and they do check.
Answer: The next two numbers are 6,480, -38,880.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern is to multiply each consecutive term by (-6). Understand that a negative number times a positive number is a negative number (eg: 5 x - 6 = -30).
A negative number times a negative number is a positive number
(eg: -30 x -6 = 180). Also, (-1,080 x -6 = 6,480.) (6,480 x -6 = 38,880).
Hope this helps.
For this case we have the following number:
What we must do is rewrite the number as the product of two numbers.
We have then:
From here, we write the number as the multiplication of a whole number and a power of base ten.
We have then:
Where,
: whole number
: power of base 10
Answer:
The distance written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten is:
Arithmetic sequence because the common difference is 8
